Yes true Josh, a few mnths ago I planted 1 of my 3 leaf seedlings in Full sun and when I give it a tug  ( yes the Hovomantsina, so no smarty ass comments Josh) I can feel the roots are going down deep, its really at work down there and I think most palms ( bar Lemur and Licuala and a few others) as long  as they are babied and very much looked after will outdo a palm in a pot "any day". My Carlsmithii's that went in 1st of the same batch are 4 and 5 times larger than the 1s I pot on....    Pete  :)

Much faster in ground as pete said. This one stood still in a pot for 18months until planted in the 1st pic. 2nd pic is 14months later.

It helps that both you two have outdoor greenhouses as soon as you walk out your home... :) Here I need booster help and babying...

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!
