Got this from Lowes in February 2012 for $12.
This is the shortest of three similar pals and only grows to 15 feet.
Seems to like its spot.
Still there.
Seems to be doing OK. You can already see what would be the start of its characteristically wide base, or maybe its my imagination. The hot position and lack of rain doesnt seem to have worried it at all.
Shortest of three new palms.
