Here is a short but interesting video on how to put bromeliads on a trachycarpus fortuneii trunk. I may try this.  The after look is awesome and very tropical looking. PS: you may have to turn up the volume really loud to hear.

Are you growing Trachycarpus in your climate?

I do grow a few trachycarprus forntunei maybe around 30. Tallest ones are around 25' and shortest around 6' tall.

Some people do call them Chinese windmill palm.  Maybe just a slip up on his part. :rolleyes:

Right.  But if you go 26 seconds in - he calls it a Chinese Fan Palm....not a Chinese Windmill Palm.

It's OK....I'm not one of those nomenclature police persons. In fact, I'd love to buy the bloke a VB one day - or a Tooheys......or whatever frosty cold beverage is of his choosing.

In fact, even though I'm quite fluent in botanical/Latin/scientific nomenclature - I usually tend to just use common names around most people....because I'm not that uptight about such stuff.

Cheers! ;)

It's all good Bazza, I didn't even catch that mistake the first time. :D
