6 years in your ideal conditions?? goodness knows if I will ever see them on my trees :(, but I check every day :rofl:
Past humorous! I looked at photo and immediately thought What the…!!! My first thought was birds of paradise somehow coming out. Fine minds think alike. That’s my story and sticking to it. You are NOT alone. :rofl:

well i will get pics later today as we finally have some sunny skies but the spikes are open and there are 1,000,000,000 tiny "buds" but already several that are growing into something!

like i said initially, i dont expect any fruits yet here but it sure looks like it is doing a really good practice run....maybe i totally got lucky and its a dwarf!!!

What the heck is it doing? This Kansas gal says it looks like a corn tassel!

That's what palm inflorescences look like. Those are flower buds, similar to corn.

And now at roughly 21 months from sprouting..........
I'm guessing 10 ft roughly? Note the trash barrel for size comparison.

Have been out getting in some hardcore yard work while the temps are in 50's and really was stunned because I honestly haven't been paying much attention to it and it's on the boarder of my neighbors yard so I never walk past it unless I'm in the garden chopping.

Wow! Puts mine to shame but I'm not giving up. Coconuts teach patience .... :rofl:
