Some photos of Acrocomia aculeata in habitat, in Nicaragua. It can be quite common in pasture, well defended by its spines.

love them, I have 2 that I ended up with from a batch of bare root seedlings given to me by a rotten  old plant thief and partner in crimes of a horticultural nature, I planted them a little too close together in hopes of having enough pollen to make viable seed, but so far none of the seed have sprouted for me ... perhaps this year will be different

I saw many of all sizes in habitat when I went to Cuba in 2014. Ferociously armed from the moment of germination.

A couple of habitat shots from El Salvador. Unfortunately,  the top one is a lone plant where all the surrounding vegetation has been cut and the climbing jungle aroids on the trunk are dead. Sad but common sight in the tropics.

Yes, I’ve seen them in 9b areas 

Corpus Christi, TX, near salt water, zone 9b/10a! Except when it isn't and everything gets nuked.
