    11th I have 2 potted ones. I bring them inside 6 months of the year. I just dread repotting them. Just don't want to kill it.

    Looks like you have a good setup.

    Your Bismarckia nobilis silver is beautiful, my friend. I'm just germinating a good batch. Mine just sprouted a leaf. It's thriving.
