How much sun for Dypsis procera?

[Really full garden]

I have a Dypsis procera in shade at the beach that is doing well , but seems really slow. I was wondering if it might need at least morning sun .

I doubt they can handle full sun at the beach.

They can take full sun but I think they look best in part shade

That’s good to know, I have several and want to try one where it will get several hours of morning sun. 
I think they are spectacular palms when well grown. The ones I’ve seen on the Big Island are incredible.

I agree with you .it will probably go threw a burn stage but should grow out of it. I always place the pot where it will be planted for a few weeks just so it won't go threw to much.. post pics when you get them in

This is one that is growing in bright shade. It is sort of lost in the heliconias. It’s main trunk is 1 m tall with two shorter trunks. It’s a three year old plant that has been planted out for a year.

Hey Scott, this palm should do well for you in your climate. It is a such an attractive, medium clumper that takes full sun here, and I would think adapt,  in the more brutal conditions you have with ample water.  They grow fairly tall and straight and is a worthwhile garden specimen. It should also pick up speed with a bit more size to it. I’ll post a photo or two later today.
