Product Details
he Triangle Palm (Dypsis decaryi) is a striking palm known for its distinctive triangular crown formed by three rows of leaves. It's a small to medium-sized palm, reaching 25-30 feet tall and 12-15 feet wide, with a solitary trunk and blue-green, keeled leaves. Native to Madagascar, it's now widely cultivated and thrives in full sun to partial shade with well-drained soil.

Additional Notes:
- Despite being endangered in its native habitat, it is widely cultivated and not at risk of extinction.
- The triangular shape of the crown is formed by the unique way the fronds emerge from the trunk.
- It's a popular choice as a specimen plant or for containers due to its dramatic appearance.
