I planned on putting the bottle palm behind my couch to hang over the couch so I ordered two of these to save money. The leaves did not reach over my couch so I ended up placing them on the patio. So Buyer beware, the size of the palm is from the soil to the top leaf. I thought by ordering a 4 foot, that it was going to be more like 6 foot. So this online store measures them exactly to the order. Mine measured 4 feet and 2 inches. I called to see if they would be able to send me another one taller but they told me to order the medium next time. I asked for a credit on the next order and they sent me one in the mail. Would I order again, yes, but I would call first, just to see if there are any extra deals or savings to add to my order.
