Very nice! I have one out, half size of your, from this spring and small seedling few years out which is protected with mulch and bucket during winter.

Jim...you just need to go ahead and build a biodome. Yard is looking great.

[Ben in Norcal]

I agree with David.  And, Jim - you are my idol!

There is a bigger Cooperi nearby,not sure if I have another

pic besides the one with the unfurling croziers above.

[Jimhardy]

Really awesome..  your collection is great!   That Tricho...  where did you get that?  It looks so much different than the one I have.. I'm pretty sure mine is a terscheckii but.. is that a terscheckii??   The trachycarpus look way better in your climate than they do here.  Impressive!  How tall do princeps get ? The number of segments make that palm look so much cooler.. does it have wind resistance ?

Nice man..

[Jimhardy]

Thats a good question about wind resistance...

not real sure but they seem to do ok...as long as

the wind isn't blowing-lol

 

Seriously they seem ok 

 

Yes on the Tricho...Terscheckii is what it was sold as from someone

on e-bay-

Yeah...the Princeps is a true Prince in the Trachy world maybe growing

to at least 30' from habitat pics I have seen,possibly taller but they do

grow on the sides of cliffs.
