I think the price of Trachycarpus fortunei is good. What is the difference between the regular and the 'Taylor's Hardy'?

Also, does anybody know where I can buy a decent size (2-3 ft) Trachycarpus Wagnerianus in Southern Ontario? I live in Markham and I'd be willing to drive a little.

Pygmy date palm - Costco Toronto area

Hi,

Costco has this palm for 17-18 dollars (canadians). 14" pot, about 2' tall, very nice, around three plants per pot. Lots of other tropicals for the same price. I've seen one cycads left as well.

Hi, Bill, I made the pond myself, it took a while to learn all the terminology and how to deal with the water. In the beginning everything was green. Once you learn about filtration everything is ok. As is very cold here during the winter, the pond has to be at least 4 ft. deep. Water has a special ...

I thought that I purchased some plants from 'tropic to tropic' from BC, but the person at the other end doesn't answer anymore. Does anybody else know a source where I can buy hardy tropical plants in Ontario or Canada? I'm interested in a trachycarpus wagnerianus mostly, but some other will be fine...

Hi, I'm in Markham, Ontario. I updated my profile, but I have no idea what zone I'm in. (I know it's cold, at least a few degrees colder than in Toronto) I started all this tropical plant hobby when I realized that I don't have any more room in my garden, and I should plant something that it's diffe...

Thank you, This is a very nice forum but the tropical plant bug can be very addictive. I just order a few more palms and bananas. (one trachy fortuney, one trachy wagnerianus, one washy robusta , one musa maurelli and one elephant ear). The only other experience with tropical plants I have is with s...

new to the forum: what type of palm is this?

Hi, I purchased this in Canada. Somebody had it for ten years and he said that it is from Mexico. It's only 16" from the top of the soil. I think that it's so small because the container is very small but I'm afraid to transplant it till Spring. Thank you for looking, Tavi http://i958.photobuck...
