Take a look at my T.princeps grown from seeds of the stone gate., 2 different styles of bluish palms,quite interesting .They are all from the same batch of 20 seeds I sowed among which 18 are germinated gradually over several years, but half failed for various reasons .What's fascinating is that the slender ones exhibit more apparent white powder to the underside of the leaves.

Great looking palms. Very cool to see a difference between the seedlings.

My guess is,they will look more alike as they grow.
If they do not,there may be some Fortunei blood in them.

Very attractive.
I like the compact ones.

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

Nice Gary! So are these from those palms that we see on the rock cliffs? Very nice!

Very handsome palms! 😀
I admit I know nothing about T. princeps.

The few seeds were picked from parent T.princeps on the cliffs in the stone gate .The following are several others from the same batch of seeds I am growing in the field and they all show nice blue colors .Also a comparison is made with nova and tesan and we can see its interesting difference from nova and tesan.

Beautiful palms you have there Garry! I just picked some of them up for myself this year, they are really cool palms.

That's exciting and reasonable.
Unlike other trachycarpus, T.princeps have a very long dormancy-postripeness.I got 2 germinated this March out of 20 seeds from late 2007 while 16 germinated gradually over the past years. 😆 😆

Yea Garry,I was pretty excited to see a 2 ridger seedling where there wasn't one 2 weeks previous!
I had to check my records to see what was planted there,the only other possibility would have been Takil
but I figured it was Princeps as they were seeds from you.
They must be able to take some cold in ground too.

Keep up with the good work and see more as T.princeps needs some more patience.
Here is my T.princeps with yellow stripes.
I doubted it could be caused by nutrition deficiency till the second split leave put out half yellow tinge.
not sure this cutie had its third leaves like this

That is an awesome variegated Princeps Garry!
One in a couple thousand or more I would imagine!
I have a small Princeps a little bigger than that one that for
some reason is also growing the smaller leaves like that!

Very cool! 8)
It will be fun to see if its offspring carry that trait.
Here is a naive novice question: can palms be propagated vegetatively? Like with tissue culture methods?
