I just planted this very showdown...

The Pembana (left) is on a slope so looks taller, but the Teddy (on right, in the shadow) is actually the same height.  My money's on the Pembana for the win, but we shall see. Both have been strong growers for me. If I'm SUPER lucky, perhaps I'll be able to make a "Paradise Palm" hybrid someday.

* These two palms are closer than I normally plant, but I'm hoping to get a "wall" going between myself and neighbor's boring yard. If it gets too crowded I can easily remove the angel trumpet between the two palms and/or cut back the banana clump...  but there might be a lot of frond smashing if they do end up the same height. The Teddy fronds will also fight with the fence for a while (and need to be trimmed on the fence side) but will eventually clear it. The Teddy is approximately 14" from edge of the trunk to the fence, which I'm hoping will be enough. I'm really pushing it on spacing with this combo, and hoping I won't regret this pairing. 😬

If you absolutely have to, you can relatively easily dig and move the pembana (not so sure about the Teddy).

After a windy, rainy night a frond ripped off one to reveal the first convincing trunk of the three.  The branch was brown, but seemed to rip off a little early, so hopefully any wounds will heal up ok.   The others are also starting to show their rings now too.  About 2.5 years from 3 gallon pots to trunking.

Also the fuzz is really starting to come out.  This ginger 5 o’clock shadow seems to work like a waterproofing layer.  It stays dry and doesn’t soak up water.
