Hey y'all. Thought I'd share the growth progress on my Windmill. He's growing a lot quicker than I anticipated. 

I'll post the pics in this thread...

The fastest growth I encounter is specimen planted out in open ground. Routine moisture with temps from 65°F to 80°F.

I bought a little one in Feb this year when it was 50 cm tall and in a 20cm pot. I planted it late feb and since then it has reached just over 1 metre in height and 1.2 metres wide.  Being in the subtropics they are a species rarely seen and hard to find, and ruinously expensive if one does fluke a find. Found mine in a weekend market for $20 ! (the vendor being a typical know all, told me it was definitely a native cabbage palm !  ( Livistona australis)

Looking super great.  I have several growth videos on my Youtube.  I get almost 3' of year of trunk on these in the ground here and they can go from small to a large palm in just a few years.

Interesting. They're very common here, but prices have really exploded in many cases. Costco seems to be about the only place to find these at reasonable prices.

Thanks, Allen. I'm looking forward to planting it in-ground in the coming years.
