This is a current picture of this very slow growing palm. I posted a picture of this same palm a while back and thought I would update the picture and also see how anyone else may be doing with these. It's starting to remind me of a Beccariophoenix.

Jerry, That Voanioala looks awesome! Your right, it does look very much like a Beccariophoenix. Do you know how long it has been in the ground?

Really nice, it has to be the largest one outside of Madagascar. What year was it planted?

I'm not sure when this palm was planted; it's the largest one that I have ever seen. I will ask Terry Sullivan the next time I see him.

EVERY palm seems to grow perfectly in Hawaii. Thanks for the photo! I wonder how long it'll be before it gets a trunk?!

I'm always up for learning new things!

Thanks for the pic Jerry. POM only has that upshot into the crown so you can't really get a sense of what the palm will look like. We're starting to get an idea now. Sorta Beccariophoenix like sans fibers. Thanks.

It's probably quite a bit older. Voanioala is a snail.
