Add item to quote to see pricing

Dypsis leptocheilos is a welcome addition to any landscape seeking the warmth and allure of tropical styling. Unmistakably charming, this "Palms & Cycads" category standout is affectionately known as the Teddy Bear Palm, owing to its unique reddish-brown, fuzzy crownshaft that charmingly imitates the cuddly softness of a teddy bear. Towering up to 25 feet in height, this stately palm extends radiant green fronds from the top of its ringed trunk, arching out in a lively spray that can span six to eight feet. Patient growers will appreciate the slow, rewarding development of this Madagascar native, which thrives in partial to full sun exposure and well-drained soils. Be it in coastal gardens, thanks to its moderate salt-tolerance, or in classic backyard setups, the Teddy Bear Palm enhances any landscape with its elegant shapes and tropical vibes.
