He doesn't look like he's been there for a long time. I'd agree with your guestimation of about 5 years in that spot.

My Madagascar palm toppled during this move. It was a real struggle to get it re-potted properly. It's rather heavy, and only about 3 feet tall.

a travelers palm at the height in the image will weigh a lot.

I can well imagine it does!

Not sure what I'm going to do with mine when it gets taller.

plant it . you will have to or it will stunt in growth .

 

[AirDancer]

Can't plant it outside.... it wouldn't survive Illinois winters.

Re-potting will be fine for a little while longer. But when its weight becomes too much to handle, an alternative place for it will have to be found.

Just happened to think of a botanical garden in the Quad Cities .... they might be happy with the donation!

The house & property look to be in good shape. (Or is it just the new camera making 'em look good?)

Sorry to hear about the nasty dogs. That's really sad. Sure wish people would train & treat their dogs properly.

They aren't miss treated . they are mean.they have forced me to retreat from that very area.when I read the colonial heights route I uses to skip the home unless I saw the south gate open then I went to read it.this has a shed west of it thar is a barn slash workshop with some old lamps.the owner told him the home is old . knowing that I will use it to find other things.it's a easy spot.I have it still on a photo and point it out.
