Anyone try this in North TX or Georgia coast?

Not North Texas but I'm off the Gulf. Mine has been in the ground since spring from a 15g and about to see its first winter.

Nice to see this  successful zone pushing.  I'll always add for folks starting/growing these. (mine was 5" in diameter at planting and 5' of trunk now) you mostly just watch these become a massive bush first. They just get wider and wider with a little vertical gain. Once they get their full width, they then go up, fairly quickly.

Zone 10a at best after 2007 AND 2013, on SW facing hill, 1 1/2 miles from coast in Oceanside, CA. 30-98 degrees, and 45-80deg. about 95% of the time.

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!

I just got a small Jubaea Seedling. How many years does it take on average to go pinnate/Develop full fronds? 

In my climate it’s about 2 or 3 years from germination that they start to go pinnate. 

Millbrook, "Kinjarling" Noongar word meaning "Place of Rain", Rainbow Coast, Western Australia 35S. Warm temperate. Csb Koeppen Climate classification. Cool nights all year round.

I now have 6 seedlings that I will be planting in a few years, if they can survive my crazy 8A climate, they'll survive anywhere in the southeast.
