Looking good Colin! You know those Pelagodoxa are gonna get pretty big, they look awfully close to the house.

Thanks everyone, growing and seeding way faster than I thought.

Tim,I kinda realized that the other day.  Too late to transplant since they are so close to other palms, but maybe a few more years of big leaves for sun protection. Put them in the ground as small guys and well hard to imagine them huge. Live and learn. anyway quite a few years of enjoyment, none the less.

Hey Colin, my motto is, 'if it doesn't affect the cosmos', it's probably not that important. 

I certaintly have my share of stuff planted in WRONG location.

Tim,

Of course the Pelygodoxa is probably in one of the only places in the garden without any wind. Other spots it would be shreaded. Maybe it will do a curvature thing 

avoid the overhang, and all its roots will go away from the wall, wishful thinking.
