Brahea decumbens full grown size?

This is way out of my range to plant in the ground. Wondering if this would be a good choice size wise to plant permanently inside a greenhouse. Is full grown size relative to a big Sabal minor?

The trunks on decumbens are much longer, and crawl near the ground like snakes, the coolest weirdest things.
 

I’d put it in a big tub you can move if you have to. They don’t take being dug and moved well.

I planted my decumbens at the top of my easement almost like it’s growing on a cliff . It looks green and small right now 😂and doesn’t liked to be watered . Same with dulcis that in 15 foot from it but looks flawless and blue as hell

Here’s my little guy. Really weird palm, I got this 2 years ago in a 5 gallon deep pot, which I thought was odd for the size of the palm. I took it out of the pot and there were roots wrapped around the bottom of the pot. Root system far more developed than what is above the soil line.

Like all Braheas they are root sensitive. They also don’t like wet cold in a container, but do fine in the ground.

How tall do they have to be before they start crawling on the ground?
