What is the growthrate of the trachycarpus wagnerianus in the ground or in pot.i just repotted mine today in a planter 2x size of the rootball and its very deep.

If I continue to feed it palmbooster every fortnightly.and reapply the slow release fert will I see any growth. 

Im asking this as the waggy that was potbound did not budge one bit but my fortunei is growing new spears and leaves like crazy as thats in a pot also.

Palms are either growing or dead.  Sometimes they just grow really slowly but if you mark the emerging spear you should see growth overnight or within a few days.  Waggies are much slower in a pot which is no bad thing as they look better as young plants.  A picture usually helps...

My Trachycarpus wagnerianus didn’t grow at all since end of October and is only now starting to unfold the latest spear.

Waggies are slow until they get to a 15G size.  I have about 100 2 year old plants and they have been very slow thusfar.  The fortunei have been about twice as fast and the Nova have been 4-5 times faster.
