This palm was planted prior to the Dec 2022 freeze. I can't recall if it was summer 2021 or 2022. The stiff cupping of the leaves was obvious at the time. This survived just as well as the average fortunei here. A nice looking palm.

To me it looks just like what you would expect from a Fortunei or maybe Fortunei x Wagnerianus hybrid. Nice palm nevertheless.

I'd have to agree with the others, this doesn't look like a waggie.

I like it, but it just looks like a Fortunei grown in shade. That's the way I like 'em, fat and stumpy! The tall skinny ones just... I dunno.

Yes. T. wagnerianus is the easiest to distinguish from the others in the genus, and that one looks nothing like it.

Yes definitely wagnerianus. It also looks like it could use some fertilizer or that could just be the picture I don't know

Not a waggie.  Falls within the normal frond shape/size of regular fortunei. Technically speaking they are all fortunei.

When it was planted, it definitely looked waggie. Perhaps it was a hybrid and outgrew it's look.
