I think the arikury may get a bad rap due to being a queen palm relative.  And, I think I’m preaching to the choir that the queen is overused and boring. However, 20 years ago in my palm planting frenzy I got some seeds and planted them throughout the yard.  Super carefree and ornamental.  Stays much smaller that the queen.  They grow so easy and without care that it is a no brainer to plant.

I agree, I really like this palm, super easy and stays smaller so you can enjoy it. I had 2 which have now given me enough seeds that I have a lot of the around my yard.

Yup, they can be prolific on the seed making department.   Since they are a queen relative, they do sprout very easy.  Not as weedy as a Queen can get.  Those queens can volunteer everywhere and if you don't pay attention they can be ten feet in a blink of an eye. Not arikury.  They grow slower.  I don't see them volunteering underneath but they may be able to be a weed.

That's a really pretty palm. I planted out another strap leaf seedling this spring. Funny, I'd actually planted one several years ago, but was perplexed at the lack of spines, thinking maybe it wasn't mature enough. Turns out it was actually a hybrid, hence the lack of spines.

I can definitely see where all of my Coco Queens get their good looks!

I think I have one in the ground but in an area that needs lots of shruby crap to be cut so I can take a picture.  LOL

Interesting. I didn’t realize that any Syagrus species had any spines.

Schizos are quite prickly!

Jim, I should have been a bit clearer. They actually have serrated petiole edges, similar to Livistona..

Here’s a pic of what the spines look like. Sharp buggers.
