This is sort of a response to the thread about the right time to plant a palm.

How about right now!

It's about two feet (55 cm) tall.

Thanks to Josh-O for his candid cultural instructions!

    Very nice!  I planted a couple that were just getting their character leaves in 2006, and they are just about the size of yours now. Hope you will post size updates as time goes on.

    Very nice Dave!

    For comic relief, I will try to take a photo of mine ( hint: the macro function on my camera would work just fine..)

    I will just need to find the fountain of youth to live long enough to see mine trunk!
