Nice photos!

Josef welcome to the forum 😀 . Thank you for posting your photos. I noticed that the trunk looks a lot thicker than a normal T.fortunei.The palm fronds also look a lot larger than normal. Did you get that Trachy from Bulgaria? How old is it? How long has it been planted? Keep us updated on how it does this winter.

Hi and welcome 😀
I think that is great 8) I also have the same questions? Where did the seed or plant come from? It looks so nice and has a good form 8)
Also, how cold does it get there in a normal winter?

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

Those are very beautiful and I like the fat trunks.
I would like try leaving mine out to the elements with no cover but im waiting for the root system to be more established a year or 2 older to be able to handle that defolation every year. How do you fertilize it? Do you add any additives before winter? when did you plant them and did you protect them at all the first few years ?

Nice trunked healthy palm. I wish we can grow them here but when I lived in Florida we had the same species of palm as you Josef.
