Almost everyone I know that has them are from the 1 gallons FB offered last year.

For me it was nice to get two with a nice head start but not picture worthy yet.

Obviously Len's is really nice if you can coax him into posting.

Did yours come from FB as well? If not, where'd you acquire it from? Hoping to add one to my collection this year.

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!

@TomJ I have some small plants I grew from seed from RPS, but haven't put one in the ground. Was curious on growth rate. Thanks, @BS Man about Palmsfor sharing your experiences. Amazing to me how shallow rooted these plants are.

Yeah, the main thing I've noticed is that unless you live where you are in the 90's a lot, they like more sun than most people think. Secondly, I have yet to see anything that "improves" their speed via drastic changes. I.E. "more fertiliser, water, etc.
