About Trachycarpus nov. ssp. (Nova)

This is a recently identified species, after initially being misidentified as Trachycarpus princeps.  It has been found growing in the wild, and in cultivation, however.  It is a solitary palm with a slender trunk and a crown with slender elongated green leaves and whitish on the underside.

Cultivation Tips

It appreciates lots of water, and seems to be tolerant of a variety of soil types. Though tolerant of hot, inland sun, it seems to appreciate a bit of protection from intense, dry heat. Feed several times with a high quality fertilizer during the growing season.
