John Case Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 I picked this one up last year at NorCall meeting...it was a strap leafer at the time. It has shot its first fan leaf...... 2nd shot shows the newest leaf coming up..... 1 Quote John Case Brentwood CA Owner and curator of Hana Keu Garden USDA Zone 9b more or less, Sunset Zone 14 in winter 9 in summer "Its always exciting the first time you save the world.

Darold Petty Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 Hi John, repeat after me.. 'Trachycarpus ukhrulensis'... formerly 'manipur'. (NO, I don't know how to pronounce it!) 1 Quote San Francisco, California Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't even type it.....I assume that this is the new approved Dransfield name?

Steve Mac Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 We have a couple of mani/naga/ukh's, and they're too slow for us too. however if one was planted for me as a present when I was born, then that would have been nice. hey that just gave me an idea, I'll give them to the next grandchildren.

ghar41 Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 I have a couple of these and decided to put this 2 gallon plant in the ground. It seems to be doing well, looks like it digs the cool weather, but has been ok in the heat so far. 1 Quote Glenn Modesto, California Sunset Zone 14 USDA 9b Low Temp. 19F/-7C 12-20-1990 High Temp. 111F/43C 07-23-2006 Annual Average Precipitation 13.12 inches/yr.

soro Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 I have a few Manipurs. They have been quite slow even in the ground but tolerate frost and drought quite well. One think I noticed is the pointy hastula. Not very silver undersides so far. The leaves feel papery thin despite grown in full sun. http://www.palmtalk.org/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif Quote Auckland, New Zealand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJQ Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 Soro, are you 100% sure that is a Mainpur? The reason why I ask is that I am by process of elimination trying to ID my mystery Trachy. So far the indications are that it may be a Takil but I cant rule out that it may also be Manipur or Oreophilus. My mystery Trachy does not look like the one in your photos though. Regards Andy. Quote Bangor, Norin Iron Zone 9a Min temp normally around -3 Degrees C, rarely -6C. Only 2 x -2.0C so far, verging on 9b this year. No snow or Frost this Winter. Several just subzero's this year, lets hope it stays this way. Normally around 5C to 10C + in winter, with lots of wind & rain. Summers usually better, 20C to 25 C occasionally 25C to 28C, also quite humid being a coastal town Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
