These are very good plants and they are not forced in any way.
They have at least 5 feet of clear trunk and a good head of leaves so I think that for that price they are value for money.
But if anyone is thinking of buying one do hurry up as no water has been given to these palms and they will soon start to suffer.
Check out your local branch and get one of these palms before they kill them with lack of care.
