Beautiful . Mine has a very large spear right now . It hasn’t had a display since the end of October . We are in Spring right now so it should pick back up now . I started feeding it over a year ago and stepped up the watering and that has really helped the look . In full sun they really need a little extra here . We tend to have arid conditions and very warm afternoons by August through November . The fronds really get large on these! Mine only stay red for 3-4 days .

‘The last frond , sorry already green . About a week after opening . The trunk is a little over 5’ where it meets the crown shaft. I’ve been giving it an organic fertilizer , powdery stuff , ( magic bat guano dust?) that I mix in the top layer of soil . The stuff only has a light odor but it has helped a few of my palms that were looking a bit lean. It gets a good soaking frequently . This is by far the largest frond it has thrown . The burning of the leaves has been greatly reduced since my change of treatment of this palm. Right now i am watching a huge spear for signs of opening🤞. Harry

Solid palm that one Harry. You are certainly doing the right thing for your Cham feeding and watering does make a huge difference. A palm will take more sun  with increased humidity and your extra watering seems to helping with the burnt leaf tips.

Thank you Richard , yes , I learned a lot on this forum from you and others. This one always grew well but burned in summer sun. It seems to resist that trait now . We don’t get near the rainfall it likes and our arid climate keeps it thirsty , I just wasn’t paying attention enough. After seeing yours and others I got into action and this one responded . Harry

Yes even talking to a plant and acknowledging it I have plants flower in response to attention. We think plants don’t have feelings we are wrong they are a living being, a little attention goes a long way.

They don’t get any better for size and colour than a big Chambeyronia. The blue sky and the green of the garden combined with the red takes it to another level for colours.
