Thanks both,this plant is very hardy when it is older, we had one before in the ground that grew to 6 ft, but had to take it out in order to build the garden room.

Trachycarpys fortunei moves very well at any size. It's a tough, hardy palm. :>)

I wish I had known that at the time Delonix, have discovered you can unwrap them, debark them? so much more attractive when they get very old.

Dottydaisy2:

Cutting off of the fibrous sheaths along the trunks is a very common practice here. I'll take some photos of some tall trees. T. fortunei commonly grows to 30ft/ 10m - 50ft/16m tall here.

I just wanted to add a comment about how fast T. fortunei grows in CA. I've read on the Palm Society website: People have grown Trachycarpus fortuenei from 60 cm (24") to 7 m (21 feet) in 6 years.
