Triangle Palm Tree [Dypsis decaryi]

The exotic Triangle Palm Tree, like many other bazaar and unusual trees, comes from Madagascar. The Triangle Palm Tree is named because of the irregular trunk shaped like a triangle. The Triangle Palm Tree is a recent palm brought into the United Stated and is a good container plant grown from seed or it can grow to 25 feet in the landscape in zones 9 and 10. The feather-like leaves of the Triangle Palm are 15 feet in length and grow upwards at a 45° angle and arch downward slightly. The Triangle Palm grows best in sandy soil, full sun and needs regular watering.

The triangle shape of the leaf bases makes the triangle palm trees from the island of Madagascar, a popular palm tree in the nursery trade. The Madagascar (Triangle) palm tree thrives in full sun and is cold hardy to below freezing temperatures. The Madagascar (Triangle) palm tree, Dypsis decaryi, will turn heads to attention when grown and planted at outside restaurants and cafes in containers.

Triangle palm, Dypsis decaryi, also is called the Madagascar palm, and it originated on the South African Island of Madagascar. The Triangle palm is one of the most bizarrely formed plants ever grown and offered to buy at a nursery, because of the oddly shaped trunk and red clusters of cells on the underside of the blue-green leaves. The dark brown trunk with contrasting glowing, gray leaf scars are exotic in any office container planting.
