@TampaBayRay It looks great!  When they get large enough to comfortably walk under the fronds, they'll compliment the sidewalk perfectly.

awesome specimen!! just curious, did you plant the palm deep enough to avoid it blowing over (not uncommon when young)? I planted one some years ago but had issues with two hurricanes causing it to lean. then I decided to let the lean happen, so I staked the palm in place and let it grow.

Definitely gives it a more coconut-like appearance.

Up here in St. Augustine, it is one of my favorite palms.  Really gives the tropical look like a coconut and are super hardy.  Much hardier than I ever thought they would be.  My 2 never get watered, except when it rains which hasn't been much and they still grow like crazy.
