    It is such a beauty and if you are going to sell now would be the most perfect time.. It will fetch the most looking like that.. Prime for it I think.. You have enjoyed it, could be a problem for you to over-winter.. Sell it and bring another one on and enjoy that for a while..

      I would prefer one with more fronds giving it more of an arching effect, sell it and get a smaller one!!!:biggrin:
