Good example of Cuban showing the difference of Florida growth vs. Arizona growth. Tropical palms grow much slower in our desert.

How can you tell? Was it the same size years ago?

Look how far apart the growth rings are on the Florida growth at the bottom of the trunk compared to the short distance between rings on the Arizona growth...

This is even evident on royals that went from South Florida to Central Florida. The shorter growing season evident here!! I took this yesterday at an outlet mall near my home.

Looks great! It’s true Florida growth will be more. But if you water it with copious amount of water, it will still grow fast

Most large palms will see a quick reduction in size between the rings due to transplant shock. Some palms more than others.

Archontophoenix are notorious for this as well. 

When palms are planted before they start trunking they will have more consistent growth rings as long as watering is consistent as well.
