Windmill palm question

If you look at the bottom left of the trunk closely you will see that area has had a bunch of fronds die off there. But barely any on the other ends. Question is has lighting and moisture kept this tree from growing taller? A lot of trees same age as mine the tree has reached higher and more even frond loss. I’m just wondering if I’m holding it back

Thats where the pseudo- heel is located. As it expands it rips the fronds off of the base which kills them. Normal stuff.

Totally normal.

Agree, It's fine. What you're pointing it's called 'creeping' and it's common habit on trachycarpus genus.

Yes, your Trachycarpus trunk is creeping. They do this quite often but grow out of it later. Some species do it more than others.

UK zone 8b/9a. No heavy frosts. Occasional -6c. Dull wet winters. Cool summers.
