Posting a few photos of my Parajubaea torallyi. I planted this palm about 15 years ago from a 5-gallon pot. It currently has about six feet of clean trunk and it’s about 25+ feet tall. This time of year, I tug on the old leaf sheaths to see if any of them are ready to come off. If they're ready, they pull off easily. However, if they aren't, no amount of pulling will remove them. It’s not unusual to find Arboreal Salamanders (Aneides lugubris) under the old leaf sheaths as shown in the photo below. I'm in the San Francisco bay area.

I've gotten a few seeds over the years (less than 10), but none of them have ever germinated.  However, I may not have been patient enough since I believe it can take a long time for the seeds to germinate.

What a beauty, congratulations!

Nice to see the clean trunk without leaf bases...I wonder at what age/size they become self cleaning?
