palm

hi bananman whats the palm behind the musa and is frost hardy

 

Hi grinch it is Trachycarpus Fortunei

It is fully hardy down to about -10 and it flowered for me this year too. Frost wise it is mostly killed by crown rot where water gets in where the new leaves emerge and continuous freezing and defrosting causes fatal rotting. They can be renovated from this but at much cost to the plants height.



Expensive at this height but you only live once and I don't have time to wait.
