How big do they get Don? I love palms, and am just adding them to the garden...

I've been wondering, if I may impose on your thread terichris
What kind of Bird of Paradise is this? It keeps getting bigger and bigger.. It seems a little different in the way the leaves are to the ones that are around here...the leaves on mine are more banana like as they lay over, while the ones I usually see here are sticking straight up. Is it just that they are little longer..they also look a bit wider.
I'm going to post 2 pictures as it's difficult to get it in one shot in it's location. The leaves are looking a bit scrappy this time of year. First picture will be the top, and then the second will show the trunk.

For scale, the fence is 9 feet tall.
