A few palms started.

Post by Barrie »

About 700 palms started, mainly T. fortunei as it's the most requested palm around here. The majority will be raised to a 5 gallon size before they're sold.

Cheers, Barrie.

John ... I mainly grow T. fortunei as most people seem to use this one locally. A mess of other Trachycarpus species mainly for myself.
Re-pot schedule is dictated by palm growth. They all grow at different rates which is good in a way ... not all are ready at the same time.

Cheers, Barrie.

Very nice Barrie. How much will the 5 gallons be going for? Here are some photos of our mule palm xbutyagrus seedlings, on san juan island Washington. Maybe we can do a trade in the future.
