Trachycarpus Hybrids observation.

Recommended Posts

A few of the T. Hybrids I have are Nova x Waggie and Nanus x Waggie.  I have I think 4 or 5 Nova x Waggie. Their about 1 year old and at first seemed fairly fast growing. I've never had Nova but at this point I don't see any Waggie traits. Also the nanus x waggie I was hoping would be a dwarf trunking palm. Had a couple mention they don't think it will trunk. Still nice. Here is a few pics. Soy assessment is the waggie seems recessive however I have some waggie × bulgaria they seem like they may have some waggie traits. However from what I read since the waggie on that cross is the female may carry more of the waggie gene.

Thanks Allen, now if my Princeps seeds will start germinating. Oh want you know how much I appreciate your videos. I've gave 3 coworkers a Fortunei a couple days and links to your YouTube channel.

Thanks!  Well if some of my stuff dies in the future you and @teddytn will have to hook me up!  Both of you are growing a lot of GREAT stuff in TN.  I'm not too good at that part.

My wag x princeps. 

Probably one of the bigger ones around?  It has more blue on the undersides of the leaves than you can see in this photo.

In the summer, I just toss the fruits into a mulch pile and water. They germinate in about 6 weeks. Probably need a heat mat this time of year.

I've heard several say princeps may take 6 months to over a year. I recently put mine on heat mats so that should help

Nanus x wag is dwarf trunking. It grows a little sideways first like nanus but then up, I don’t believe it will ever be above 6ft of trunk mature. There’s a few pics on google. Nanus x nova likely same In 2nd pic.

That be great to get a trunk that big. I have I think 8 of them. There still pretty small. I did check the info on mine and says Nanus x Waggie F2. I'll have to take a look at them closer. Thanks

Have you been able to get them to germinate?
