All Trachycarpus species A to Z 2022

[@dylan8285]

Probably the best hybrid of trachy is waggy and fortunei crossed. stiff leaves, fast growth, excellent cold tolerance, and just looks good

[@sarnian9055]

What I like on Vancouver Island is T. wagnerianus. T. martianus is a nice palm too.

We’ll done Kris for managing to get the video done this year!

Excellent. It's great that you're sharing this cold-weather data so gardeners in certain zones around the world can trial some palms in their gardens. I had no idea there were so many species of Trachycarpus.

[@markborder906]

Thank you for this video, I have been looking forward to seeing how they are going, especially as I have added 3 or 4 new seedling Trachys to my garden, inspired by you. Probably a daft thing to do, given I’m 70 in Feb, so unlikely to see many of them top 10 metres!

Hi Kris. I love this video. Just great to see the update Some observations for what they're worth 1. The oreophylis is stunning. For me the most exotic looking of the trachys. If they sold this commercially I think it would be a knock-out. 2. The variability with the speed of fortunei growth I've noticed at my place is massive. I had a crappy rescue fortunei that was tiny when bought but in 5 years has reached 6ft in height. Much faster than 2 others I own. 3. Shade vs Light position seems to make a massive difference. For me, it's almost worth deliberately planting trachys (particularly Nova) in shade as they develop a more slender exotic-style trunk. 4. The Martianus looks really cool. I'm hoping my fortunei-martianus hybrid has some of the more exotic fronds but retains more of the fortunei hardiness. 5. Your second trachy ukhrulensis frond looks more like mine. Lovely slender leaflets. I hope it starts growing for you again. Great tour, super collection. Appreciated as always by this palm enthusiast . Cheers 👍

Awesome I am so jealous, Kris did you plant them all at a similar size? if so what size?

[@YorkshireKRIS]

Check out the earlier years updates in the play list. It starts in 2015.

[@mrchuffy6535]

@@YorkshireKRIS Thanks just started watching, so much variation in growth rate!

[@ThePalmDude]

Thanks again for the insight Kris. Love these updates every year and I always look forward to watching them. :-)

[@martinwb3834]

Nice to see your yearly progress and compare growth with mine. Happy New Year to you and your family 🎉

[@imranbashir2833]

Always nice to see the progression Kris. Is your princeps hybrid a cross with the standard fortunei? And does it make a difference to the form which was the male/ female parent?

[@timmillan6701]

T. nanus seems to be in suspended animation- at least mine do. How are you handling pollination? Are you going to go for specific crosses, or just leave them to their own devices? I wonder when you discover which of the rare ones are female flowers, is there a source for male pollen of those species where you can get true seed?

[@YorkshireKRIS]

Ideally I'm hoping I've mainly female plants to keep the species characteristics in any cross. The nanus is extremely slow growing

[@davidbanner9001]

Is the Princeps hybrid crossed with Fortunei or a different Trachy?

[@YorkshireKRIS]

It's an unknown cross, hybridised in the wild, possibly with nova

[@philippehoyez9398]

At 6:18 is the palm tree that we see in the back at the neighbour's?

[@YorkshireKRIS]

Hi all the palms are in my garden.

Brilliant 👍👌
