Crazy cool Matty. I remember Mardy Darian couldn't keep one alive in one of his best locations.

Goes to show. You'll never know unless you grow. (From an old surfing mantra - when you ask yourself "Can I make this wave?" - and the answer is, "You'll never know unless you go.")

Hmmmmm. Glossy leaves look right but something about the stem seems a little different. Any chance it’s a Calyptronoma?

Good microclimate mostly. But I did keep it covered with 30% shade cloth for 3 full years before letting it see full sun.  It was full entire day sun after that.  Just this year the king palm next to it throws a little shade on some of the fronds. Probably will help it look better in the future. 

I remember trying to convince you that you could do it... I noted that if you were getting a Carpoxylon to do great, a Satakentia would be completely doable too.... my faith in you remains unshaken....my next suggestion... (this be more of a challenge.. but if anyone can, I think you..) a Deckenia nobilis.. :D

 

Zone 10a at best after 2007 AND 2013, on SW facing hill, 1 1/2 miles from coast in Oceanside, CA. 30-98 degrees, and 45-80deg. about 95% of the time.

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

Dave, my thinking is this is Burretiokentia, either hapala or viellardii. Almost impossible for me to identify between the two when they are young. Do either of those two species grow there?

Burretiokentia have a full crownshaft. Dave’s palm doesn’t.
