    Hi there, "new" to the forum, so hello everyone.

    I have what I believe is a "triangle" palm. Now I'm just trying to find out which
    species.....and even if it is one....
    The new growth before the leaves spread out, are reddish.
    When leaves come out, they are green, and the main leaf stem still is faintly red
    for a while.


    Thanks again and hope to read replies.

    Sounds like a Dypsis, but the red and the "Triangle" threw me off as to which one. PIc would be good...

    Hi, thanks for the reply.
    Here is a pic. I'm not the best photographer, so hopefully the
    "reddnes" of the new leave spike show's up.
    Again, the tag said "Triangle Palm".

    Here are two more. It's a bit "redder", I think in real life.

    Looks to me like Dypsis decaryi...
