I dug up a couple of old pics not long after planting these palms. The first shows a nasty snow in January 2004 and a subsequent follow-up in July of 2004. They are quite small and not much larger than the size they where planted.
Cheers, Barrie.

Awesome Barrie. But... you can keep that snow 😉

I am sure those trachies are geeting quite tall now.
I remember Jan 2004 and I wish we had got the snow for insulation.
We went down to -9C and just a cold cold night.

Trachycarpus fortunei are very well suited to our region and are the work-horse in many gardens. Here's one around the side of my house standing about 8' tall, still pushing fronds quite happily. Trachys also like November too. 😀
Cheers, Barrie.
Overall view.
Emerging spears.

Very healthy looking specimen.
Trachies are also my staple in my garden.
They are fast growers and don't mind our climate at all.

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.
