15 gallon is a nice size to use - still moveable without a dolly (although a dolly is the way to go for anything over 7 gallon).

I love Kentia Palms. I used to grow them when I first got out of school at a wholesale nursery in Apopka.....along with a gazillion other tropical plants.

How about Solitaire Palms (Ptychosperma elegans)? Do you have those out there? One of my favourites....

Here's a triple trunk Solitaire I planted at a project a number of years ago....
