Seriously! I bought it, and somehow managed to get it home without being delivered. It only has 2 leaves, but each is about 5-6' long, with the new one being brilliant red, bringing the plant to a total of 9-10' tall! For $44 each I'm really tempted to get the other 2 they had, only I've got no room for them. The place I got it also has a 5' Spindle Palm for about $80, a clump of Alexander Palms 15' tall for $250, a few 10-12' Bird of Paradise for $100, a 15' tall Date Palm (I think, didn't check the price), a 5-6' Bottle Palm without a price tag, and of course loads of Bananas... if only I had the space! If anybody in the NY/NJ area wants info on the nursery let me know, I highly recommend them. And they're 3 minutes from my house!!!

I'm so excited to get this Flamethrower Palm outside in the spring! I'll try and get a pic of it soon while the leaf is still red.

From the little research I've done it should be a relatively easy plant to care for, apparently able to take a light frost.

Sorry I ramble on!
