 ==Desciption==
 This imposing palm has such a presence, that a habitat photo commanded the back cover for "The Palms of Madagascar" by John Dransfield and Henk Beentje. Because this palm has been in cultivation for some time now, several forms have been observed ranging from slighly to very plumose irregular pinnae, always tough and rigid to the touch. Several color variations have also been grown ranging from all green to reddish, with many different hues in the developing spear. It can be solitary or frequently double in its native environment. However, in cultivation it has been seen with as many as seven stems before trunking. As more and more palms spread through cultivated gardens from many different and diverse seed sources, more palms, that appear to be related or in this complex, are appearing. Including a strikingly beautiful blue form, that so far has demonstrated a peculiarity to remain solitary. As one of the first palms from Madagascar to be introduced, and because of its reputation as one of the most cold hardy pinnate palms in the world, many mature specimens are now growing outside of its natural habitat despite its slow growth rate.

 ==Culture==
 ''D. decipiens'' may be the most cold hardy palm of Madagascar. There are reports of a young plant surviving 22 degrees F/-5.55 C unscathed. It is also tolerant, and probably prefers full hot sun with cool nights. Because it grows in an open well drained soil, in an area with an extended dry season, a constantly wet climate does not appear to be to its liking, except in areas where the soil is extremely well draining. Young plants seem especially susceptible to rotting in a potting mix and climate that does not allow periods of drying.

 Uses: Good palm heart; leaves used for erosion control (Betsileo).
-This palm is one of a few palms of Madagascar which exhibits a branching habit that may be unique to the palms of Madagascar. The stem splits below ground as a younger plant by extending a spear that apppears split down the middle. Over a period of years, this then develops into two separate trunks. If anyone knows of another palm, from outside Madagascar, that exhibits this same habit (exclusively below ground), please click on the discussion tab at the top and let Palmpedia, and others, know.

 This large and truly spectacular palm comes from the dry highlands of central Madagacar. With its leathery, blue green, plumose leaves; tall, pale crownshaft; and smooth, cigar-shaped, gray trunk, it is reminiscent of a Royal Palm (Roystonea). Dypsis decipiens grows to altitudes of 2000 m (6700 ft.) and is one of the most cold tolerant palms from Madagascar. It requires a temperate or subtropical climate and will survive quite heavy frosts. (RPS.com)
