It's pretty big...although, I've taken pics of larger ones growing under trees throughout Balboa Park.

Only pretty big - over here we'd be very happy with it!!

Meanie:

The fronds are probably around 6 feet/ 2 meters tall.
The fronds can actually grow to almost 8 feet/2.4 meters long.

As a house plant mature specimens need a very large space.
