Mine was growing beautifully until I went to Mt Coot Tha gardens and saw some fully grown specimens. Magnificent things but bloody YOOJE so I dug mine out. I am cowardly like that.

Yes you need a rather large yard for this monster of a palm just one leaf would fill up a wheelie bin and even then only half a leaf they can destroy an understory palm in 1 second flat
