Dypsis lutescens - Butterfly, Golden Cane, Areca Palm

:o)))))

And to the left a fine Schefflera elegantissima. I have one doing the adult foliage on a 10' plant.

Mature Schefflera elegantissima is so common here I don't even pay attention to them anymore. :>)

I've tried a few Schefflera's over they years. The bay area climate has changed. I never saw a one in the 70's -80's..then by the 90's S.puckleri,S.arboracola..then S.macrophylla in the 2000's..a plant that never seemed to do well here before. Now doing!

I've seen them for many years in the SF Bay Area. I think there's more in the Bay Area because so many species and varieties are more available for sale.

How about the Dypsis? I had one trunking but much house repair work meant it went too dry last summer. It was the largest and really first one I had live long enough to trunk outdoors even if in a pot.
The last two years has been hard on my garden..plants stepped on,washed paint brush paint splattered on plants..by repair guys. I tell them,but I can see that they think "just flowers"...BS!..If I have to yell,I do!..Oh,and when I tell them do they want to pay me for what the plant is worth..then they look the other way.
A vent-lol.

Dypsis lutescens is pretty much a lost cause in the Bay Area. It's just too tender. There's many other species which are more hardy and grow well there.
