Planning to chronicle the life of my Phoenix Theophrasti in this thread for those who are interested. I received this specimen from TCHP two years ago (fall of 2018, if I am not mistaken...) when it was about 21" long and had a small trunk of 1.75 inches. I am guessing its the green variant but TCHP can probably tell me more about about the origin of the seed batch.  Frankly, I was not impressed with how it handled the first winter. I pulled a spear pull and it lost most of its leaves
