    @TampaBayRay It looks great!  When they get large enough to comfortably walk under the fronds, they'll compliment the sidewalk perfectly.

    Ray, that is a beautiful specimen. Great spot to showcase its habit.

    Thx guys

    awesome specimen!! just curious, did you plant the palm deep enough to avoid it blowing over (not uncommon when young)? I planted one some years ago but had issues with two hurricanes causing it to lean. then I decided to let the lean happen, so I staked the palm in place and let it grow.

    Definitely gives it a more coconut-like appearance.

    Up here in St. Augustine, it is one of my favorite palms.  Really gives the tropical look like a coconut and are super hardy.  Much hardier than I ever thought they would be.  My 2 never get watered, except when it rains which hasn't been much and they still grow like crazy.
