Trachycarpus latisectus

This guy is looking really pretty at this stage. I think this palm gets passed over a lot due to "Palm Snobbery".

Looks like it could use a bit of iron. It's on drip irrigation and only gets watered once every 15 days.

I think I might be mistaken. I think this might actually be T. martianus. Anyone think so?

I like them. I germinated my seeds of T.latisectus some 12 years ago and still aren´t flowering. T. martianus flowers earlier.

Matty your palm looks like T. martianus, the Ear Hair palm.

:huh: seems like we have a bit of a dilema here, whatever it is, it's a nice representative of this often under-appreciated genus.

Both latisectus and martianus ( and many other trachycarpus species ) have '' ear hair ''.  I will add photo of real martianus later. Your palm does not look like martianus.

Trachycarpus martianus has regular leaf splits and leafs are in general very delicate. They will burn very easy on full sun during hot temperatures.

Trachycarpus latisectus on other hand is more tolerant on full sun during hot temperatures. It has somewhat less delicate leafs. And leaf splits are not regular.

I bought this several years ago from a San Diego source that's no longer in business. I was told it was Trachycarpus latisectus, but after reading this discussion thread I'm not so sure. It takes morning sun here in interior NorCal OK and freezing temps don't bother it, so I can leave it outdoors year-round. Whatever it is, it's a nice palm! ;)
