I saw them in Sarawak bigger than that. If you can pay the price, buy a big one. They take forever to grow.

The other plant which is even more interesting is the Licuala cordata, also from Sarawak. It can take full sun gradually and the leaves grow flat like a table. And the one which tops many palm connoisseurs' wish list is the Licaula mapu.
I have all three of these in my collection. My nursery have more than 100 species of palms, mostly the rare ones.
