This is Caryota maxima, photos taken at sunrise this morning. I got this palm from Faith Bishock in March 2006 in a three gallon container. It was planted June 2006. I guestimate that it is a least 28 ft. in overall height. It is important to keep a Caryota well feed and watered at this size. Neglecting it for a long period often induces it to flower. Flowering will continue for about 5-7 years then the palm dies. This palm would be a pain in the ass to have to remove at this size.
