Those are very slow to make a trunk. Going to be awhile before anybody can stand under it. Great looking palm. I've seen photos of them here,but very young.

Yes, it’ll probably be at least 20 years before it’s big enough to walk under. There’s some large old specimens here in San Diego. The largest specimens here are more than 70 or 80 years old.

Thanks! I wish I had one! A Palm Society friend gave me a beautiful one many years ago and it died when I repotted it. 😞
