In Plain Sight - Provinsi Yellow Palm (Part 8)

A large specimen of the Yellow Palm (Dypsis lutescens)

Note the clustering habit.  New canes are produced from base of the clump as older ones mature.

 The plain area at Zone B which is mostly wet and marshy is dedicated to a collection of Yellow Palm (Dypsis lutescens) . The Yellow Palm is also commonly referred to as Golden Cane Palm or Butterfly Palm.  It is a clustering feather palm with its crown shaft bright yellow in colour.  One feature that is attractive of the palm is its slender leaf stalk.  Both the stalk and leaves will give an even richer golden colouration when planted in sunny places.  I have successfully propagated them by seeds though germination may take sometime.
