Dypsis Decipiens in the ground

14 years ago

For those of you who wanted to be updated on the progress of my Dypsis Decipiens, here are a couple of pics from this morning. I planted two of the three yesterday afternoon after completely getting rid of about 50% of my lawn. (Please exuse the mess, it's a work in progress)

I gave them a good soaking and a measure of fertilizer and manure to help them take off.

And here are a couple of more pics from my yard this morning. I hope you enjoy!

Thanks for all the comments. I put in a couple of hours of work here and there when I have time, so my projects sometimes move somewhat slow, but I enjoy every time i'm out there.

Stan, that majesty is already showing a trunk! I've been fertilizing and watering it a little extra just to get it to grow more. I'm hoping we'll get lots of time before our next scheduled arctic freeze! haha. This next winter we're supposed to be feeling the effects of El Nino, which for us here in the valley means lower than average winter temps while being encased in thick fog, but at the same time less frost and freezing temps. For other areas like the foothills of the Sierra and the coast it means warmer than average winter temps.
