Wow, that is in mint condition, Tim.

Just think of what your mild winter would mean...if it was every winter 😀
The stuff we could grow with no--or minimal--protection.

But then we'd be trying Cocos outdoors 🙄

Nice Tim

Quite the friendly winter,at the rate the temp goes up over
the next few weeks,plants should have a 6 week jump over last year!

Great work, Tim! I recently saw some great shots of T. "nainital" in Nainital, India. The poster made a point that many of the Trachycarpus in Nainital were regular T. fortunei that were introduced when the area was a British outpost.

Yes, these nanitals don't look all that different from a 'regular' fortunei to me......the only difference I noticed is that all the seedlings had a 'lean' when growing......this 'lean' is gone now.

The most plausible explanation is that the Fortunei hybirdized with Takil.

T. 'nainital' update......growing fast now.

Nice! If someone told me that was a pic of Florida, I would believ it.

Hey Tim -That palm looks really good. I have 2 little guys also in my garden and i just put a rose cone over them and they seem to be the hardiest palm in the garden-tougher than t. fortunei and t. wagnerianus
great pics

Yup, with no trunk lean/creeping trunk, it's gotta have hybridized.
What a beauty Tim.

yes, I too am surprised these nainitals are so hardy. I planted it in 2008 as a 'baby'........here's a photo of it after it's first winter.

How about some more pics if this one Tim???

From the side would be great!

Hi Jim,

Cool looking tomentum...I used to rub that off. 😆

Very robust looking, Tim.
