I used to collect them - lost most of them years ago - and am now just getting back into them. At present just have some 3' P. macrophyllus and a 8' P. gracilior. 

Anyone else grow these? Any interesting ones? (Aurea, etc.)

In my neck o' the woods these are known fondly as "that damned tree from Hell".

They are popular screen plantings in our neighborhood, some species planted as a hedge.  I'm not sure which species because I preferred using clumping palms and bananas instead.

Probably P. gracilior.. Which, to my eyes, looks similar to P. macrophyllus ( Maki ) which is popular ( esp. in FL. ) for the same reason. Make great Bonsai subjects.  Personal favorite are the Silver/Blue colored sp/ cultivars.
