Another one of my all time favorites. Although in saying that, this particular Dypsis Carlsmithii has been an extremely slow grower. Started out from 8" pot and planted around 12 years now.

I think that is pretty good size for its age. A beauty for sure. Harry

Hey Steve, your C. carlsmithii is a nice looking specimen, but I would agree it is slow. Sometimes you get a palm that just wants to take its time. Don’t be surprised in the next few years that it’s going to experience some significant growth. 

Mine went into the ground from little 2” wide cones, (50mm), back in 2009 and I’m amazed they even survived. Here are a couple a photos, one at 12 years and one taken earlier this year. The rate of growth in the last few years has been rather extraordinary.

planted a 1 gallon plant back in 2020.  It died 2 years later.  Not sure why.

I’d be stoked with that plant. Everybody wants the fast growers but it’s great to have a tree that takes its time so you can enjoy it right at eye level for years. Looks like it’s grown perfectly to me.
