Dypsis leptocheilos | Teddy Bear Palm 6ltr cashew and had many scientific exploitsDypsis leptocheilos or Teddy Bear palm is another beautiful palm from the palm paradise that is Madagascar. The solitary trunk is green and bamboo like, although it is covered in a white powder making it almost white in appearance. A dense reddish brown velvet like hair covers the crownshaft, hence its common name of 'The Teddy Bear Palm'. This majestic palm tree when mature has a crown of around 15 gracefully arching dark green glossy pinnate leaves.
