Acrocomia aculeata/mexicana growth rate in northern Mexico; April 2nd 2023 - October 29th 2023

My Acrocomia has grown pretty fast this year I hope it gets a thicker base and plumose leaves next year. How fast have Acrocomias fared for you this year? Share them please.

First of all, this is my palm when it arrived on january, it didn't start growing until spring was close, which is when I planted it. The palm comes from the state of Tabasco in southern Mexico.

April 2nd 2023, My spring or "Semana Santa" vacations started and I decided to start planting palms. The first one was obviously my Acrocomia.

Yesterday. It's still growing pretty fast even though it's fall.

Yes, they get bigger on every new leaf, when I got it the spines were pretty small and they weren't that sharp but these bigger ones are extremely sharp.

I'm hoping it will lean a bit to stay away from the wall, I'm adding soil to it occasionally.

I have another Acrocomia on the sidewalk but it isn't as happy, it must have a nutrient deficiency. Does anyone know what's wrong with it? It's growing but it's wayy slower than the one on my garden. I put a bunch of dry leaves around it yesterday to help it grab nutrients. I don't think it's the plants surrounding it because since I put them around it the palm started growing a bit faster. At least its size is gonna make it easy for me to protect it this winter.
