Bought some more palms!
I couldn`t turn down the deal for these three palms. Two Trachy`s, and one Butia capitata 600.00 for the three . The one Trachy has 4 1/2" ft of trunk. It also looks to be either a hybrid Waggy x fortunei or T. nainital very stiff fronds with no droop on the ends at all. Any thoughts from P.N. people on what it is?

Ooooooh, John, very very nice palms.
That Butia is very special.
That must be your neighbour's yard in the background
You have no more room.
And Doug, BILL MA has tons of huge Trachies and Waggies in Boston Mass.
And HUGE is accurate!
It might be worth your while to contact him since you're not clear across the country.

It'll be in some good company with your other fabulous palms planted out, John.

You may need to wait until it puts out a few more leaves in full sun.
The untidy appearance of the crown is probably a good indicator of Fortunei
maybe with some Waggie "blood".
