Ari,
The palm that we call "Orange Crush" was introduced under the incorrect name of D. tsaravoasira. The palm that is (according to JD) really D. tsaravoasira is a completely different palm.
So the palm you have now may be the real deal --- a palm that carried the incorrect names of D. ceracea and D. nauseosa, before being correctly identified.
We have sure managed to confuse our Dypsis, haven't we? That is why I am trying to set up a central place to try and hash these out in a organized manner.
BTW --- Orange Crush is now believed to be D. pilulifera.
Dean, this is my first post on this forum, it is a subject close to my heart, the pics are of a palm I was sold as Dypsis Ceracea, so what is it really? It is nothing like Orange crush plants that I have seen, it does have an orange apperance when it drops an old leaf, but not like Orange crush I have seen.
Just for scale the trunk is about 12 inches in diameter
