What trachy is this

[palm789]

So walking to work today in the sunny uk and I see the best looking trachycarpus.it got leaves around 2 meters big for such a small tree even the spear is over a meter tall and not opened and yet the leaves are the most dark green you could get and shiny.i want to buy one like this ill pay anything but I dont know what variation if trachy it is.i have 2x fortunei but the leaves are nowhere near this big.looks small in pic but in real life the fan leaf is gigantic.

Looks like a regular windmill to me.  Mine has massive leaves.

A very healthy looking windmill, that's for sure. I agree with Ben, it looks like a "regular" Trachycarpus Fortunei to me.

x3 Trachycarpus fortune has 3 (or more) forms even though most are sold here all lumped together.

T, fortunei has numerous variations, not as many as say Chamaerops. Often location, growing conditions and provenance plays a roll.

Cheers, Barrie.

Walked past this palm again today.seems to be growing at a turbo rate.do you guys think this is  the fortunei-nainital or nova? The fronds are about 3 foot in height

There's no text book or easy answer. Again, variation plays roll in these palms. Perhaps speak to the home owner and see what they have to say about this palm.

Cheers, Barrie.

Looks like a standard Fortunei. I have a Nova of a similar size and you can tell the difference.
