Nursery contributed plant descriptions

The smallest Trachycarpus is found growing on dry slopes in Yunnan China, this diminutive hardy palm grows no trunk, only pretty fans of foliage that create a 2 by 2' clump; the seeds are held up on 3' stalks, (very unlike typical windmill palms) and although much sought-after, the goats in its native China usually eat all the seed!
