Mine are still small strap leaf seedlings. Hope that they will put on some size this summer.

I think it likes Oregon.  Only two of the ones you sent survived due to being in the mail for a month.  The princeps x fortunei hybrid you sent is magnificent.

Looks great. Probably no chance of getting one north of the border though.

Wow that's incredible growth. I'm thinking I need to fertilize and give mine more water. My trachy hybrids from the same batch are nowhere near the size of yours.

They are sensitive as seedlings. I’m down to one, hopefully more seed becomes available.

I just remembered I have seeds for these! I had one germinate this weekend after being in a pot for 9 months and looked at the label to remember what it was. Sometimes I have too many on the go I lose track...

Do you have any plans to put any of yours in the ground? Seems like they could be a good choice for mild PNW locations...

Thanks!  Josue Diaz sent it as a gift with some other palms I got from him.  DoomsDave is the source of seed.  It was strap leaf when it arrived.  This is two seasons worth of growth since then.

Dead.  We got down to 9F in the coldest winter in 30 years.  I lost a lot of palms that winter.

ugh, we got down to 9F last winter and it was pretty brutal. I'm sorry for the loss, man.
