Pygmy date from seedling

I moved to this home at the end of 2010 and noticed a 2 strap-leaf seedling under this podocarpus hedge and knew that it was a seeded pygmy date.  I decided to leave it there and these pictures are after a trim about 1 month ago.  Slow to say the least but am glad I kept it.  Probably 4 to 5 foot of trunk below the "pineapple".  About 7 feet overall with the curve.  Just thought I'd share the growth rate after about 15 years from something the size of a grass blade.

Thanks!  I always feel that palms look there best when seed grown right in the ground vs grown in pots, but that's just me.
