The best way to grow a palm is in the ground, so time for this one to go in the ground. Germinated from a few purchased seeds online. With 2 left from 4 seeds not to bad 50/50 odds. Planted in about one of the wettest and cooler spots in my garden I shall see how I go.

I reckon it's a reasonable chance for you Richard, will be interesting to see how it goes over summer. Funny how you're zone pushing in both directions now!

It should do well, plenty of moisture and in the shade. 
 

Here in California they’ll take the sun near the ocean, but not too far from it.

One can only try, I planted one many years ago before I really got into my palms, I made the mistake of not growing it just set it and forget it kinda thing. Only years later I realised it was missing. Now this one will be getting the attention, soil and moisture requirements that are needed for it to survive. It’s great learning palms it only took me 35 years to work out how to grow them. Duplicate there natural environment!

It’s in about one of the top spots I have for the correct microclimate. Cold is not the problem with this one heat. If I can read the weather for the hot scorching days I get in 42 degrees dry hot low humidity. Set up the microclimate that’s needed and it should be ok.

There is a very large one in Ventura , one of the Sullivan’s apartment buildings . Way too tall to get to the seeds. HarryIMG_4648.thumb.jpeg.f025911b9871706118036866d7d78353.jpeg

I guess you’d have to get ahold of the tenant in the corner apartment , but it would be tricky even then . I don’t like heights!

Wow Harry, now I do remember telling you not to climb ladders or do anything silly with a ladder. Well forget all that I said get up there and grab the lot on a ladder. If not tell the second floor owner to get a broom handle and you will catch them as they fall🤣
