Leaves opening in the crown

I planted this Mediterranean Fan Palm last summer and the trunk has actually gotten thicker over the last year, but all the new fans have been opening inside the crown instead of the spears getting taller and then opening. The old leaves have long stems so I’m not sure why this is happening? Is it just transplant shock? Or another issue?

I’ve been growing these two elephant ear corms for awhile but this year coming out of hibernation the bigger corm has two spears coming from the top growth point. I included a picture of them last year.. just one growth covers the entire top of the corm as you can see in the photo.. so how is it going to be physically possible for two full sized growth to co-exist space wise this year? Do I need to remove one of the growth points for the health of the plant?

These are planted in full sun and get tons of water and then I overwinter them in the garage every winter. Maybe this is a stress response idk

Hello!

I literally cannot find a single Yucca Schottii for sale online at any online nurseries or e-bay etc.. when I search. Is anyone aware of a nursery in the US that carries this species?

Been searching for a couple of years for this plant😭

Does anyone in the PNW zone 8 grow aloifolia or know if it can handle our wet chilly winters?

I’m also what more uncommon types of yuccas people are growing with success in the wetter parts of the PNW
