In this thread, I will spend some time elaberating on the details and confusion about Trachycarpus princeps in several parts based on our field experience with traveling several times to the princeps habitat since 2007 , collecting and growing the seeds on our own for a comparison.

1.Confusion about Trachycarpus princeps, green princeps and nova

Discovered in the early  1990', Trachycarpus princeps lives and grows on the stone gate cliff near the border of Tibet,China. 

But years ago growers found that some seeds sold as princeps on the market were not real T.princeps and therefore named as green princeps which is actually famous for the incretible growth speed, never seen in Trachycarpus genus and now the green princeps is called  Nova.After exploring in the stone gate area and growing the seeds later, we discovered that Nova formerly known as green princeps is distributed in the area as well. That is probably one of the reasons why it is confused with T.princeps.Plus they share some similar appearance at seedling stage.But T.princeps seedlings are seemingly bluish whereas the Nova are fully green as other trachycarpus species. More details are shown at our website for interested readers.All in all, Trachycarpus princeps and Nova(green princeps) are totally different species with distinct characteristics  which can be easily identified.

Looking good Garry,

 

Would you be so kind to write your 'secret' soil mix for princeps?

We want to get the best out of your seeds!!!!

Jos,

There is no secret soil.But well draining medium is very important to grow healthy palm seedlings.So I combine natural soil, peat, coarse sand and rotten chicken manure,etc.

I don't want to know your recipe for it (too much info), but just make sure to mix in some of your secret palmlove Jos !

It does mean taking your eyes off these Sabi's for a second...

Just will do as you told Rob.

Yesterday my memory went back 30 years ago.

Working in a nursery we had to give fertilization for growing the most blue Picea omorika x mas trees and I remembered what was given overthere. Quit certain that the same stuff given to princeps will result in the most bluish princeps on earth.

On holiday now, but back home goiing to order seeds from Garry and than find out the best way to germinate them (short time and high rate) 

After Sabinaria magnifica a new challenge is born
