The palm in question is Syagrus sancona. It's getting too big for its pot, I don't have bigger pots/containers.

I would drop it in the ground. Start acclimating it to the sun little by little.

Oh it's already used to the sun. I got this palm as a little seedling in late october 2024. It's a rocket in both sun and shade.

When is the best time to plant a palm 20 years ago, time for that sancona to go in the ground!

Growing fast, this photo is one fay after it was planted. I still don't see any transplant shock and the spear is growing faster than it did when it was potted. The palm was root bound and was difficult to get out. I didn't break/move any important roots.

there is no transplant shock because it was planted, not transplanted. Transplanting involves cutting of roots of an in ground palm. It is a beauty though! Keep us posted on this one!

I agree with @happypalms . The best time to plant a palm was 20 years ago, but the second best time is today. Looking forward to watching it grow up @idontknowhatnametuse !

It’s going to a tight fit in there when that palm matures!

@idontknowhatnametuse plant it! I put a bunch in the ground last summer, at all the same size as yours. Unfortunately for me, we had an all time record low in February here, and my yard recorded 22.5F. This killed most of the small seedlings/strap leaves. But one survived! So based on the hardiness reports in Kinzyjr's sheet and my experience, it should work fine if you can keep things like Adonidia alive. Mature ones of those are 100% dead in my area...
