I got a six foot golden cane palm from a relative's garden. He dug it out & gave it to me otherwise it would have gone in the bin. It lay on the ground for a couple of weeks, now it's in a big pot on my verandah & it's looking good. Hi from Western Australia.
Top advice, thanks for the video. A year ago I planted three Trachycarpus Fortunei lining the front edge of my front garden. They are 30-40cm tall at the moment but they are already showing wind damage. Thinking of maybe swapping them for Wags or Tesan varieties so they remain more ornamental.
Hi. In exposed locations Trachycarpus Fortuneii leaves can get damaged by strong winds. If exposed it may be worth planting Waggies instead and moving the others to a more sheltered spot. Also some small palms are grown in greenhouses and this creates weak growth. You may find new growth could be sturdier and shorter if indeed they were grown in a greenhouse and are now outdoors.
nice informative film....Quick Q,we bought one of the £150 B&M trachies this year,trunk about 1.5 m and transplanted into a small raised bed ammened with compost,manure,top soil and grit...the rootball was tiny on this tree and a lot broke up on transplant.Since its been in the ground its just looked progressivly worse,leaves have yellowed and mottled,it has put out a new leaf(same fate as the older leaves,and the spear is still firm...what chance do`s this tree have in your opinion?
Hi. I’ve seen the B&M palms that were sold for a good price for the size. It sounds like they were field grown abroad and the dug up and potted up then sold without a sufficient root ball. It would have probably struggled as well due to our hot and dry summer. I’ve had ones like this before and they can look terrible for a few years unfortunately. Just Try to keep the ground moist once spring gets here and hopefully it will help with some root growth. May help to mulch around the bottom to help keep the moisture in the ground.

Thank you very informative
Thank you for the comment.
Hi Tiki Tropical. Would you recommend buying a small plant from somewhere like Hardy Palm UK
Yes I would definitely recommend Hardy Palms. I have had quite a few palms off him over the years.
