trachycarpus growing slowly

[palm789]

Hi my biggest windmill is growing slowly compared to my other 2,i have a smaller one putting out 4 spears and already opened a fan it was planted a year ago, i put another in a pot and had to repot again as put wrong soil and still growing like wildfire, but my bigger one even though being planted is growing ultra slow (it was planted end of april).is it because of the extreme weeks of of constant rain and low temperatures?it was so cold i had to put my heating on.temperatures latly are 11degrees C daytime and 8 upto 11degrees night time.what you guys think

I think bigger palms resent being transplanted, small ones seem to be more adaptable.    Your temps aren't the best but they will grow slowly at those.  Really I think you get a lot of variability when you plant them out, due to location and the individual palm itself.  I have a clump of three small ones that have been in the ground 2 years and put out maybe two fronds each.  20 feet away I have one that is on it's third frond this week - yes no exaggeration this is a remarkably fast growing palm.

As long as the leaves are green and more importantly the spears look good, I wouldn't worry, it will pick up speed sooner or later.

I have about 4 wags, and they go really slow for me. Part sun, They get enough water.

It takes a palm a year or more to start growing after being disturbed

Every palm I have planted has grown in the transplant year, but absolutely explodes the following year!
