This species is supposedly faster than a regular queen palm (Syagrus romanzoffiana) in Florida.  As Pal mentioned it's either not nearly as happy in his weather conditions or it's a good example of a palm that would be happier in the ground or a combination of the two.

Oops, the year of germination has to be 2016 (and not 2026 as in the photo above) of course:

You are much more patient than I, but it is a pretty seedling. Over the years I have learned to enjoy the form of young palms even though I want a towering forest. I think you must feel the same or that palm would have made room for another long ago.

This one grows quite large in pots.  Like most Syagrus, roots are shallow and not extensive so potting up with size suits it just fine.
