It is done

[BS Man about Palms]

I should add that Mardi when he sold some (although I think he said it about both versions) usually would balk when someone complained about the size of one. He said just put it in the ground and they will grow fine and large quite easily.

The ease of growth statement regarding the two types I stand firmly behind. (I.E. the two-tone emerging spear version is MUCH harder to grow well and easy versus the solid green spear version which is an easy home run)

However I do see that early on I did call this the OCWS.. probably shortly after planting I went with the big curley version name and I and most have continued to identify both as such. Big Curley =solid green spear, OCWS= two tone spear. I did procure another big curley in a trashcan and it's ease of growth is basically stupefying. I do nothing but water it, the can is split and leaks water, I occasionally mulch the top and it pushes 6-7 foot leaves. On the other hand I have a couple OCWS (none "officially" in the ground) that if I do not water right or enough or too much, adios they go.

The above is the "big curley" one.

I suspect you know why I asked, but I will clarify.  I have two, both in the ground, with the first growing rapidly, the second was slow to adapt and looked a bit stretched compared to the first.  When visiting my garden you id'd the faster as "Big Curley" and the other slower stretched and more two toned at OCWS.  I'm still curious to see as the "OCWS" labeled one ever kicks off like the "Big Curley".  Only the second summer in the ground for the OCWS and it does seem to be growing more rapidly than last summer.  I was really hopeful that the above photo of yours was an OCWS, because how could I not be happy with that???  I'll keep watching and comparing mine, but thanks for the clarification.
