Although similar to Trachycarpus fortunei, Trachycarpus wagnerianus is much more elegant with smaller leaves which are held upright. This makes it more resistant to both the wind and cold. In many ways this palm has a superior form to fortunei and will likely end up replacing it. The source of the picture below is the Palm House in the UK. From the picture above you can clearly see the upright form with smaller leaves. Another thing that makes wagnerianus interesting is the distance between leaves. They are far more spread out than a typical Trachycarpus and the lower leaves remain on the trunk much longer. Although I have seen it rated for zone 8a and above, there are many people that have had success in far lower zones. There was mention by one person in zone 6a of a wagnerianus surviving two winters with no leaf damage! They were planted along both the south and east sides of the house. Absolute minimum temperatures are said to be around -12C (10F). From what I've seen it seems like it can withstand far lower. This palm will grow to an adult height of between 3m and 6m (10ft - 20ft). It will grow well in a moist climate and tolerates salt spray. It is also suitable for dryer climates or areas with seasonal rainfall and a great choice for xeriscaping. It will grow in a wide range of soils, but it may be necessary to add some peat moss if the area is too alkaline. It seems to grow best in a well draining medium. There is a lot of good information with regards to growing experiences here. It's a great resource so take a look. Now for some great news! No I didn't find a job... but I did order Trachycarpus wagnerianus, Chamaerops humilis var. cerifera and Jubaea chilensis seeds! I'm super pumped!

Cordyline Australis 'Cabbage Tree' - 25x Seeds A beautiful tree which typically forms a straight stout trunk with sword-like green foliage, clustered at the ends of the branches. Cordyline Australis produces sweetly perfumed white flowers in early Summer.Suited for use as an indoor potted plant, garden specimen, garden feature or landscaping. Performs very well in dry conditions, is cold tolerant and drought tolerant. A great performer, suitable for a wide range of garden uses. Seed Starting Method No special pre treatment is required for this variety. It’s not necessary to pre-soak the seeds, but it can definitely be helpful. To soak them, pour some warm-hot water into a jar, drop the seeds in, and leave them in the water for 24-48 hrs Sowing Depth 1-2mm - press them in and lightly cover with soil Growing Season Spring / Summer but will germinate year around in sheltered & warm conditions Germination Time The seeds germinate anywhere from a few weeks upto a month (or longer if conditions are not optimal). Hardiness Hardy Plant Spacing A few inches apart in a larger pot or singular in small pots Plant Height Planting Position Partial or full sun - The more light you can offer the seedlings the better they'll grow Days Until Maturity Plant out into larger pots when seedling show signs of good root development. Growing tips Cover your pots with cling wrap or similar and place them in a warm sunny position. Keep moist but not soggy. Don't allow your soil/ potting medium to dry out. Once the seedings start to emerge, you can start hardening them up by removing the plastic covering for increasing blocks of time. Eventually you can remove the covering altogether and mist them so they can get the humidity they need. Keep the soil moist while the seedlings are still small, but as they grow you can start letting the soil dry out a little more between waterings. Do not be too hasty to discard seeds that have not yet germinated, seeds will often lay dormant (in hibernation almost) until the conditions are similar to their natural requirements for germination and sprouting to occur. Containers placed to one side & forgotten about will often surprise long after they were discarded.
