Before & After
I planted these palms (Trachycarpus fortunei) in the spring of 2003 as small one and two gallon palms. The tallest is now over 6 feet tall in 4 and a half years.
Cheers, Barrie.

I too am experiencing extremely fast growth on my trachies. They love our climate.

Wes ... you'll be glad to hear my Butia capitata and Brahea armata have rebounded and are showing new growth after the setback of last winter/spring.
Here's another before and after from the same period. Note: the Eucalyptus nitens on the left, is now over 40' tall in that same span of time.
Cheers, Barrie.

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

Great news about the butia. I see Michael Ferguson's in mid North van has rebounded to.
I am becoming a firm believer in brahea armata. I think it can handle most of winters without difficulty. They will only prove hardier as they get bigger.
The growth of your euc is amazing and trachies as I said before love our weather.
Good to see the old stang is doing well too.

pacific trachy's
PNW palms pics...
First of all..nice pics guys...
Yes...I agree...trachy's are ideal for the PNW climate...Here in our hot humid summer climate of S/Ontario I really noticed that my potted trachy's are particular about the extreme humidity and sun...My grounded trachy's are in partial sun/shade and look pretty good..
