Nice one Mike 😀 Let us know how you get on with it. As you know a lot of UK and European growers have had problems with basal rot on this species. I have planted two out this year as they did not grow that strong in pots. Hopefully they'll survive

Wow is that ever a nice size, Mike.
Wish I had found one that size, but started some seeds last winter.

My 2 Princeps in foreground middle row are so little compared to yours.
Even when young, their lovely and neatly arranged fronds are evident.
