TRIANGLE PALM

DYPSIS DECARYI | TRIANGLE PALM

The Triangle Palm (Dypsis decaryi) is a striking ornamental palm that has become increasingly popular in Florida landscapes for its unique shape and tropical appeal. Here’s what makes it special:

Overview

Appearance: Named for its distinctive triangular trunk formed by the arrangement of leaf bases. It has arching, feathery fronds that create a graceful silhouette.
Size: Typically grows 20–30 feet tall with a spread of about 12–15 feet, making it suitable for medium to large landscapes.
Growth Rate: Moderate, and relatively easy to maintain.

Suitability in Florida

Climate: Thrives in USDA Zones 10–11, so it’s best suited for South Florida and coastal areas. It is not frost-tolerant, so protection is needed in cooler regions.
Soil: Prefers well-drained soil and does not tolerate waterlogging.
Sunlight: Requires full sun for best growth and appearance.

Benefits

Adds a dramatic, architectural focal point to tropical landscapes.
Low maintenance once established.
Tolerates drought and salt, making it ideal for coastal properties.

Considerations

Cold Sensitivity: Temperatures below 35°F can damage or kill the palm.
Space: Needs room to showcase its unique triangular trunk and fronds.
Watering: Regular watering during establishment, then occasional deep watering.
