Steve you should be able to control their growth by keeping them root bound for as long as possible. I have wanted to try these so would like to see how you do with them.Keep us posted. How did those W. robusta seeds work out for you I sent?

John - Thanks for the advice, will try to get a feel for how sensitive the roots are too.
( Will probably be getting some more of these in & will send some your way when it warms up a little )
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The W.robusta have been quick to germinate & fast growing. Germination started betwee 1-2 weeks and the rest are still catching up. Should be close to 100% when all is done.
Here's a couple W.robusta on their way.

That is one HUGE palm! If I lived in a tropical climate I would definitely want one of those.
