Trachycarpus fortunei has been proven to be the best palm for the milder parts of the Netherlands. But people did los them in the colder parts after the recent cold winters we had. Well you are about the edge where outside growing of very few palms is still possible. Here in town I know some nice T. fortunei specimems.

And I have seen Trachycarpus fortunei even planted in Bukittinggi ride on the equator in Indonesia! Well its at 930 meters above sealevel. But still it shows that T. fortunei can be grown in many climates!

Maybe t. nanus could be a good c. crinita substitute in colder climates. I am growing t. nanux x t. latisectus, it will be interesting to see what it looks like.

I've been wondering about stripping my Trachycarpus fortunei. It has been in the ground for about 4 years and has developed a trunk and I noticed today has an florescence just breaking out of it's thatch.

Anyway if I do decide to strip the trunk how large should the tree before I start? and how do I go about the process?

I will post pic soon

My Trachycarpus wagnerianus. I am in Manila so I am pretty psyched that this guy is even alive.

I planted a few in the ground already but they just died a slow death. This is my last one and I am keeping it in a pot till I figure out what it needs to survive.

I sold and gave some to people who have homes in cooler locations, hopefully I can get insights from their experiences with this species.

Here is one of my bigger fortuneis, I do not have pics of the latisectus. Those clean trunk specimens are absolutely beautiful!

T. geminisectus in ground. This one grows far better for me with free root run. It's the first year, so still don't know about hardiness.
