Tom Ace Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 Hi Guys, I came across this plant at a local nursery here in CT. They have a very small section with some tropicals. I saw this and thought it was a Trachy, which got me interested. Asked the girl, she had no idea so I had her check the book. She said they have two types of palms listed that it could be: Chinese Fan Palm or European fan palm. This palm doesn't have any spines but there were two others that did (a feature of the european I thought?) Anyhow, any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Neil C Posted October 29, 2018 Report Share Posted October 29, 2018 Definately Trachycarpus, more than likely fortunei. Regards Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Ace Posted October 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2018 That’s what I thought! Nice to know you guys agree. It’s taking everything I have to not buy this palm. I have no reason to buy it. I have 2 fortuneis going in the ground in April, do I really need more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burl Posted November 3, 2018 Report Share Posted November 3, 2018 I have both and the Trachycarpus fortunai have no (or tiny) spines on the petiole but the Chamerops definitely do have spines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
