That said, it's over 6 feet tall, and about 5 feet deep.
If I ever claimed mine was larger or as big as some in your photos, that may be because YOUR photos didn't do justice to the palms depicted. Pictures can be really strange regarding how they convey plant mass. Any of us who have posted here for even a year know that. But, like I said, there's no offense taken. I have no emotional investment in my palms as in some sort of competition with other palms. I'm just tickled pink that they live at all here. Because I know how cold it gets here, and how long our winters are. That they survive at all is what provides satisfaction.
