Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Vigorous form of the chusan palm with exceedingly large fronds, standing upwards of 4' to 5', and quick growth, sometimes more than 18" of trunk per year in happy times. The appearance of the entire plant is quite lush with the ends of these large fronds drooping downward. In theory the trunks can lose their fibrous leaf bases with age but we have not see this happen without mechanical intervention. These plants, from isolated strains long in cultivation on the West Coast. Sun, though quite elegant in dappled shade. Their reputation has them as hardier than typical Trachycarpus fortunei, Cold weather, below 10 ºF can tatter the graceful fans, especially if accompanied by winds. But no matter, the plants themselves have survived brief periods as low as -6 ºF and the fronds quickly regrow with summer warmth.
