That Caryota sure looks cute!

 

I just looked at your location and you should be able to grow almost ANYTHING!

Oakley, California

55 Miles E-NE of San Francisco, CA

Solid zone 9, I can expect at least one night in the mid to low twenties every year.

Hot, dry summers. Cold, wet winters.

Nice to read that about the caryota... i was expecting a quicker start for a supposed giant. Seeds planted in October 2016. 8 month old if I am still "good" in mathematics

Nice babies

I just hope you don't have too many animals who risk to destroy these small seedlings you plant directly in the soil . 

Looking forward to seeing new pics of the growth progress.

Very nice!  I have a few Sabal mexicana that have only 1 or 2 more leaves than yours.  They are still in containers since I germinated them from seed in 2012!  Hopefully you'll get faster growth in the ground!  My Sabal "Riverside" is only 2 years old from seed and almost the same size as my mexicanas so it is much faster in my experience.  Hope they do well for you!

Thanks Jon. Then sabal mexicana takes its time... Good news. I can notice an unusual root system on it. I do not know if it is normal and if the ground level is too high or low. You can see it on the sabal picture

Totally normal,  is a tillering palm, it exhibits saxophone style root growth (it has a heel), keep top third of heel above soil elevation - palmpedia.
