    I need that palm as a photo prop. It would even make me look short and skinny.

    I need to pose with this palm so I don't look so hairy.

    If it wasn't for the reputable members here, I would have made an assumption the photo was AI generated. Would love to see it in it's entirety.

    Very difficult to photograph because it’s surrounded by other tall  palms and tropical trees.image.thumb.jpeg.1ef9348f2fe3fad45ccc7dbf9abc68fc.jpegimage.thumb.jpeg.b675e808875b2c6cc2588ca8711ead2c.jpegimage.thumb.jpeg.eb128af0f7e3b00c5950d0a7e6e5647e.jpegimage.thumb.jpeg.03a348b2350258910aa36bda2a1e5d3f.jpeg

    If you haven't named it Chewbacca or Ron Jeremy we need to talk. (I name plants)

    Truly beasts these palms are. Photos hardly do them justice. Some in my garden and the last photo is one I got for my neighbor as a 10 gallon plant.
