Trachycarpus fortunei 'Darjeeling'

Chusan Darjeeling Palm

Same as the common Chusan Palm (Trachycarpus fortunei) but 'Darjeeling' form consists of seeds collected from North East India (Kalimpong) and the leaves look stiffer. In my opinion this palm has more compact leaves and all seedlings will take good frost as seeds are collected from same altitude. Protect if below -13°C		Click to enlarge/more photos

Trachycarpus fortunei-North Italy

Chusan Palm

Native to China where winters can be severe and very cold, this is the most well known and most common palm for the cooler climate. Brought to Europe over 150 years ago it has been a feature of Europes parks and gardens. Whilst this palms main claim to fame is its incredible resistance to cold it is also an attractive palm in its own right. Trachycarpus fortunei can withstand severe cold, mature palms have been known to recover from temperatures as low as -18C. This palm prefers cooler, temperate areas, and struggles in the tropics. It is not fussy , is easy to grow and adapts well to most situations, providing the soil is not prone to waterlogging. Initially quite slow ,once it reaches trunking size growth is quite rapid, capable of growing up to 0.5 metre of trunk per year. The palm dislikes wind and should be planted in a wind free part of the garden or it will look untidy. If the garden does not have shelter from wind we strongly recommend Trachycarpus wagnerianus as an alternative. Together with Trachycarpus wagnerianus this is the easiest and most trouble free palm suited to our climate. Protect if below -13°C		Click to enlarge/more photos

Trachycarpus geminisectus

Eight Peaks Fan Palm

A stranger in the Trachycarpus family due to it's leaves. They are large and flat leaves and have about 40 segments in groups of 2 or rarely 3 which give them a special appaerance. They are also very thick and leathery and display a deep, glossy dark green above and a stunning waxy white below. Habitat is North Vietnam and South China close to the border of Laos and Vietnam.

Trachycarpus latisectus

Windamere Palm

Only recently described, Trachycarpus latisectus, the Windamere Palm, was previously known as T. 'sikkimensis'. 'Latisectus' refers to the broad leaflets, indeed one of the distinguishing characteristics of this palm, which are around 5cm wide, very glossy, and of which there are around 70 in total, forming a very large and leathery leaf. It has a bare trunk and its seeds resemble those of T. martianus. Remaining in the wild in just one tiny, heavily altered location in the Sikkim Himalayas in north-east India, which is immediately threatened by destruction, it has only recently been introduced into cultivation, but is about to make a huge impression in the palm world. As with other Trachycarpus, T. latisectus requires a rich, loamy but well drained soil. Young plants are best grown under some shade. Protect if below -7°C		Click to enlarge/more photos

Trachycarpus martianus

Khasia Hills Fan Palm

In our personal view, the form of T. martianus from the Khasia Hills, once known as Trachycarpus khasianus, is the most elegant species in the genus. Its slender, bare trunk supports a full but open crown of elegantly arching, very regular and much segmented, large fan leaves. It is quite fast and easy growing. Well suited to subtropical as well as temperate climates it will tolerate moderate frosts Protect if below -3°C

Trachycarpus martianus 'Nepal'

Martius Himalayan Fan Palm

Similar to the above, this form from the Himalayas in Nepal, has slightly smaller leaves with fewer segments and is more tolerant of frost and drought as it grows further north at higher altitudes. Equally fast and rewarding to grow. Protect if below -7°C		Click to enlarge/more photos

Trachycarpus Naini Tal

Hailing from a town called Naini Tal,Uttarakhand, northern India, at altitudes of 2400m.This palm discovered in 1994 was thought to be Trachycarpus takil and wrongly named as such. All so called takils in cultivation are now understood to be Naini Tals. In appearance and genetically, it is similar to T. fortunei but taller, more vigorous and larger in all its parts. Also, its fibres are thinner and shed readily, leaving a naturally bare trunk. Everybody who grows this palm knows it is hardier and superior to regular Trachycarpus fortunei. Protect if below -13°C		Click to enlarge/more photos

Trachycarpus nanus

Dragonhead Palm

The smallest member of the Trachycarpus genus and one of the most sought-after. This very adaptable and extremely cold hardy palm does not grow a trunk, or at least, only an underground or a shortly emergent one. From Yunnan, in western China, they are pretty palms, not unlike Chamaerops at first glance, and are often an attractive blueish colour. Protect if below -13°C		Click to enlarge/more photos

Trachycarpus oreophilus

Thai Mountain Fan Palm

A recently described rare species from a single mountain range in northern Thailand, where it grows on exposed ridgetops and spectacular limestone cliffs at over 2000m and is regularly obscured by clouds and buffeted by wind. It has a bare trunk and an attractive small and compact crown of regularly split fan-shaped leaves. It is quite unlike any other Trachycarpus. Any plants larger than seedling size are as yet unknown in cultivation. Protect if below -7°C		Click to enlarge/more photos

Trachycarpus princeps blue-silver

Stone Gate Palm

This incredibly beautiful and still rare Trachycarpus is generally regarded as the `prince` amongst Trachycarpus species, hence the name Trachycarpus princeps. In habitat the palm has a green leaf , and an amazing snow white contrasting back to the leaf. The palm, having been discovered in the early 1990,s growing on sheer stone cliffs in the Stonegate Gorge, China. The trunk has very distinctive brown fibre , older plants having bare trunks lower down. The leaf is split around half way, and the palm is very resistant to severe cold, probably being equally as cold as Trachycarpus fortunei. With much confusion about what is a real princeps , we always declare provenance. To clarify the confusion regarding the various forms, this is the Golden Lotus Nursery statement: ''-Collecting seeds at the Stone-gate is mostly a waste of time. -So, I get the T. princeps from another mountain-area. That's why my seedlings have a blue colour!!!! The T. princeps from The Stone Gate are green.`` Our plants are grown from Golden Lotus seed and have the bluer leaf colouration. Whilst this plant is generally recognised as the `real princeps` it may turn out to differ to the true Stonegate form. Whether or not it is the true Stonegate form is irrelevant because the leaf colouration and white backs make it unique and highly sought after. Protect if below -7°C		Click to enlarge/more photos

Trachycarpus sp. 'Manipur'

Saramati Palm

This exciting new Trachycarpus species was recently discovered growing at high altitudes on the Himalayan arch near to the border with Burma boundary in Manipur and Nagaland, India. Also known as Trachycarpus sp. Naga hills and Trachycarpus sp. ukrhulensis, it grows to heights of up to15 metre tall and with a straight, bare trunk. Extremely frost hardy, larger than Trachycarpus fortunei, and with impressive white undersides to the leaves, it looks set to be one of the best palms for the future.

Trachycarpus sp. Kumaon

We only have a couple left of the biggest Kumaons available in Europe. Look to the pics and close up of this special palm. Stock is almost finished so be fast. Plants already show the stiff petioles, blueish underleaves and the hairs around top of the trunk. Shows also very well the sideroots of the trunk.

Trachycarpus sp. Mount Victoria

A recent discovery from Myanmar (Burmah). A very rare plant, but we have reason to believe they may be more widely distributed in south-west Myanmar. Protect if below -7°C		Click to enlarge/more photos

Trachycarpus sp. Nova

Green princeps

This palm was grown from seed thought to be Trachycarpus princeps, but turned out to be something completely different. Quite closely related to Trachycarpus fortunei it grows at incredible speed and is the worlds fastest growing Trachycarpus. The adult leaf seems to be soft and finely divided and as a young plant gives an impression of Trachycarpus martianus. Only time will tell, but we hope this palm will become a graceful slim trunked and fast growing Trachycarpus, hopefully with the grace of Trachycarpus martinaus and the hardiness of Trachycarpus fortunei.

Trachycarpus takil (kalamuni)

Kumaon palm

We harvest the seeds of this beauty ourselves in Kalamuni in the district of Uttarakhand om Northern India. The Nanda devi mountain is only 10 km away (7800 metre). These plants grow between 2200 and 2800 metres and tolerate temperatures as low as -10C in their native habitat. We consider them to be the best and most hardy of all Trachycarpus! Stiffer leaves than fotunei with silver undersides. Protect if below -13°C		Click to enlarge/more photos

Trachycarpus wagnerianus

Miniature Chusan Palm

Absolutely the best palm for your garden. Superior in every way to Trachycarpus fortunei we believe this palm will one day replace the common fortunei as most popular palm.
