I scored some really nice and really cheap Trachycarpus yesterday. This is one genus I've stayed away from because I am familiar with T. fortunei and I just don't find that palm attractive in the least bit. A friend of mine had several princeps and martianus growing in his greenhouse which he needed to clean out, and after seeing these in person I thought I could give them a shot. I know these were hot about ten years ago when they first started appearing in cultivation. Does anyone have pictures of maturing T. princeps or T. martianus they'd like to share? 

I'll post pictures on the T. martianus a bit later, but in the meantime, here are the T. princeps. Aren't they really cool?! If only the petioles stay that long as they mature! I don't see much blue/silver on the underside of the leaves, but perhaps this trait will come in as the palms get more sun? (these were shade grown).

There's a bit of tomentum on the leaves here.

And the leaves are nearly circular, and deeply divided. Droopy also! Move aside licuala! B)

Yeah, it's hard to even recognize those as princeps.  They will look VERY different in sun.

Howso exactly? I'm expecting shorter petioles, perhaps a bit more coloring on the leaves also...

When I read this topic I just had to run into my garden and check how my 2 young princepses came through winter. I had totally forgotten about them. Unprotected in their first winter they appear alright, no spearpull whatsoever. But looking very different from yours. It looks like a greenhouse grown Trachy. Make sure you gradually let it get used to full sun conditions.

Looks great! And yep, I will let them acclimate in this spot which gets shaded by the large P. canariensis in the first picture.

Josue:

Whatever your palm is, it isn't a princeps. It's very cool looking though.

Be aware that once it's out of the greenhouse for a while, it will grow out of that stretched habit and get shorter leaves and petioles.

Just a heads up I have never had luck with martianus out here in Oakley- pretty much your clmate. Maybe the Modesto and Manteca guys can chime in. They were miserable in heat and sun so plan accordingly ;)

 

Maybe it was me? I killed a few though and gave up. I never tried a princeps.

Oakley, California

55 Miles E-NE of San Francisco, CA

Solid zone 9, I can expect at least one night in the mid to low twenties every year.

Hot, dry summers. Cold, wet winters.

Good to know! I'll give it shade.

I think Josue's Palm might be a T latisectus going by the uneven "cutting" of the leaflets.

Sorry!  I do think they benefit from a bit of shade though; they all do, princeps, fortunei, etc. too.  Maybe latisectus is the one that seems quite happy to bake.

I haven't found Trachies to be happy to bake, just willing to suffer it. They're not Rhopies, thank heaven. But they're not Braheas, either.

I planted them where they'll have morning sun, and they'll have more shade as trees around them mature.

Dave, I'm really bummed there's a doubt about them being princeps! I did find an original, hand-written tag in the soil that said T. princeps - I'm crossing my fingers you're wrong on this one Dave (don't take it personally) :P

Gorgeous palms!

Not much of a Palm connoisseur, but by comparing the palmpedia pics of the T. Princeps and the ones you posted, there is differences between them.

Might be a hybrid?  Who knows.

Honestly, I see no noticeable difference in willingness to bake between a T. latisectus and a B. armata.  Full sun, days on end of 100+, no worries.  Others (e.g. princeps) will show burn but my latties will endure down the block from the surface of the sun.

Unfortunately I agree that the plant in your photo is not Trachycarpus princeps. It will be cool to see how it develops, however. Latisectus should be on the list of possibilities, They don't tend to have such deep and irregular divisions between the segments, but it's a youngster.

I went back to that nursery today and spoke to the owner. It turns out they had mislabeled an entire batch of their trachycarpus, and so what I did buy initially was T. latisectus. 

I did find the actual princeps they had though, and brought a couple of THOSE home with me.  Aren't they pretty cool?!

Look at the color in these! They were shade grown so I imagine the color will intensify with sun exposure.
