Yeah me too, Scotty.
I don't like the idea of the growing point being so close to the roof--and the cold/ice/snow.
Will see when I get the thing up again.
You'll be protecting yours from the roof/second floor 😆 😆

Well heres mine at 52 degrees North 😆 
About 10ft of trunk and is growing 1ft a year even in my cool climate. Yeah once established these Trachies get really BIG
Hi Scotty, I am really impressed with your garden considering your zone. Like you I have a few Magnolias including Macrophylla ssp Ashei 8)
Regarding your Trachy I had a similar problem with Wagnerianus which was dug up and replaced in the same spot but in a more elevated position. When the plant produced new leaves there were hardly any stems. Happily that is no longer a problem.

Hey Andy. Beautiful trachy you have there! It's amazing what will grow in the UK. Very similar to the wet coast of Canada. I follow a few English gardiners on YouTube and love seeing he palms you grow with ease. Thanks for the comment regarding the fronds. I hope the problem corrects its self next year a grows longer petioles.
