Anyone grow a Pritchardia Pacifica in CA ? 

i love the look of the circular fan leaves & is highly ornamental !!

i dont think P. Pacifica could make it anywhere in CA. Would love if someone prove me wrong. 
 

However it seems strange to me how a licuala sumawongii can grow here & P. Pacifica can’t ?

Yes you observe correctly that there are Licualas (several species) growing in Southern California but I don't recall seeing Pritchardia pacifica  in any of the great gardens I have toured with the local Palm Society.   If there are any grown successfully here I would have expected to see one on one of those tours.

If you like big circular fan leaves consider growing Pritchardia beccariana instead.  Many of us are growing them successfully here.  Example below.

There’s a lot of Hawaiian pritchardtias; if you can, make room for a number of them.
