This is a VERY slow palm. According to the "Encyclopedia" it'll get up to 15 ft/4.5 m. but I'm sure that'll take MANY years! I know it can take full sun, because I saw a nice specimen at Nong Nooch (in Thailand) in full sun back in 1998. I have all of mine in partial shade and they do fine, other than being slow. Fronds seem to be somewhat sensitive to wind. This is my largest specimen, about 4 ft/1.2 m. tall. It hasn't grown much in the 5 years I've had it.
