Dypsis lucubensis is only an old name for Dypsis madagascariensis, the single-stem form. It is an easy grow in the tropics, and even in the very warm zones of southern California as long as there is no wind (wind really hurts this palm). But in inland Los Angeles, this is nearly impossible to grow- way too marginal and cold sensitive.

Would this palm be at home in the Carribean? Or would trade winds be too much for this palm?
It has a very nice appearance and trunk. Is this a fast grower ? And is it meaduim height?
And lastly are they easy to obtain?
