Can you please tell me if this is p. aurea

Thank you for the informative website.
This came from an east Texas grove where the mature culms were 2.5" and at least 30' tall. I don't expect much in my NW Arkansas location, but would still like to know what it is.
Thanks

Welcome! I think your ID is spot on. As far as the maximum diameter and height goes you should see similar dimensions as the parent grove. It usually takes 8 - 10 years to see really mature growth.

Thanks David. I'll be happy if they get half that big.
