This is a relatively new non-Hawaiian Pritchardia available in cultivation now... and it seems to be the most cold-hardy of the non-Hawaiian Pritchardias, handling temps below 32F as a seedling. I have not seen many larger palms in southern California, but mine survived two winters without languishing like the P pacificas do. Maybe it will survive here. Maybe not.. too soon to tell. Has the wonderful large, flat, finely pleated semicircular fan leaves of those non-Hawaiian Pritchardias, though... would sure look great here. Not sure on ultimate height- very little information on the subject.
