Chrysalidocarpus / Dypsis pembana Clustering Palm Tree
Chrysalidocarpus pembana is endemic to the moist lowlands of Pemba Island off the coast of Tanzania in east Africa. It’s known only from a single forest on Pemba island.
Dypsis pembana is a rare, attractive, medium sized, lightly clustering, sometimes solitary palm with a strongly ringed deep green "bamboo’ish" trunk. It grows up to 40 ft. and 6 in. in diameter. The fronds are large, waxy green with an almost silvery cast and an ornamental twist. The fruit is very ornamental, becoming a rich bright red when mature.
Very easily cultivated in a tropical to subtropical climate. Dypsis Pembana thrives in a variety of light and soil conditions.
D. pembana is a low maintenance, light feeding palm that is easily one of the most beautiful medium sized palms available. Pembana palm is very drought tolerant and does well in containers. Definitely a favorite and top seller at Let's Grow Florida!
