My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.
I got my palm finally yesterday,I ordered it last Monday.It was worth the wait,it's bigger and has more fronds than the one in the picture on Ebay.{{gwi:1124594}}
Looks a little leggy for a Waggie. I think they grow their palms in lower light levels,so you might want to break it in to the sun there slowly,maybe an east exposure at first. It should start growing a little*more compact with full sun,if it doesn't it could be a Wagxfort which would also be a nice score!
Sometimes they are a little leggy looking when their young too,I would love to see some pics of it in a few months when it's settled in!
Jim,the fronds on it feel fake.It had very long roots ,thats why I put it in a 3 gallon pot.If you feel the fronds on my Fortuneis,there soft,flexable.The fronds on this palm have like a waxy coating on them,and there stiff,tough like.I thought the same thing you did,about how far the fronds are from the trunk.I know you know your Trachycarpus palms,what do you think?The fronds really feel fake,like plastic.What is a Wagxfort?Is that a cross between Wagnerianus and a Fortunei?
I figured out that Euro.Palm Society Website.The Japanees Trachy's are more compact looking,nice looking palms.I will be going back and checking it out more,that's for sure.If that palm I bought is a cross, WagxFort,that's how they developed the Trachycarpus Hayes Stiffie then.Is this right or wrong?In the Plant Delights Nursery Catalog the Hayes Stiffie is $18 for a 24fl.oz size,plus shipping.That's exspensive for a 24fl.oz!Thanks for the info.Jim.
