Maybe you could email them the pic and ask for us?

They said they have two in the ground, one which was planted in 2019 and the other in 2020. I have to assume that since the tag in the picture says 2019 that this is the one planted in 2019.

Oh OK I see the 2019 now!  It's hard to see.  I guess water and fertilizer/sun is a big plus.  Mine probably is from the same germination batch.  Updated pics showing growth after Trunk Cut

When mine just started to trunk it seemed to really pick up speed. It was a gift from the guy who started my palm collecting obsession. It was in a 1 gallon pot with just a few blades , no palmate fronds yet. I put it on my hill as he told me it was super hardy . He said that his seeds got mixed up so he didn’t know exactly what variety it was but it really took off after it started to trunk. I’m glad I didn’t plant it next to my house because it is larger than I expected. It is about 25 years old. The trunk is over 6’ tall .
