Palmfarmer Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 Mixed up some seeds so I only know this is a Trachycarpus. I bought 2 different sources of seed one called nova with 360 fronds and blue underside (supposedly It came from a big palm in Vancouver) and the other seeds was advertised as Nanital I believe.

Luis Arroyo Posted February 17 Report Share Posted February 17 (edited) I'd say Nova. Nova,Priceps &Takil fronds divide early w narrow segments. Nainital (a Fortunei variant) has very thick leathery strap leaves and when the fronds open & divide, it's usually 3-wide segments. Here are some of my Palms. The one on the far right is a "Nainital" (fake Takil) The other ones are Trachycarpus F var. Bulgaria. Notice the difference. Nainital is denser with a horizontal creep while Bulgarias have open crowns with longer petioles. Bulgaria's also tend to grow straight up. Growing sideways or creeping is not very common.

Chester B Posted February 17 Report Share Posted February 17 (edited) Let me guess the fronds are very thickly ridged and thick in general. It's a dead ringer for my nainital. Wild type nova have a narrow frond that is thinner. Pic1 Nainital, Pic 2 NOVA wild type Edited February 17 by Chester B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
