Trachycarpus ID time

[John Case]

Following photos are of some Trachycarpus specimens that may not be your grandma's fortunei......

Please tell me what you think.

Thanks,

John

Not my Grandma's, but my Grandpa had one just like it!

John, the palms you show look rather shabby and could very well all be fortunei. Fortunei, like Chamaerops humilis, shows many forms, bigger leaves and smaller leaves, longer or shorter leafstalks, blueish or green leaves and sometimes even rotundifolia-like fully round leaves. If well grown, you can clearly tell the difference between the species fortunei, wagnerianus and princeps.

I know somebody with the same name here in Hoorn, so I was a bit curious.

Thanks for your reply Wim.
