Dypsis decipiens, the Manambe palm, is a species of
habitat loss, increasing frequency of fires, and over-exploitation of its seeds for the horticultural trade.[1] Its most unique characteristic is that it commonly produces twin trunks like the letter "V", each trunk being up to 65 feet (20 meters) in height and up to 28 inches (70 centimeters) DBH (diameter at breast height).[4]
There can also be three trunks, or a single trunk.
