sort of new to this site, so if I am repeating stuff you have seen/heard a zillion times let me know... just thought I'd share a few photos of this palm since it still is pretty rare. I have a small seedling, but it is finally starting to look like a palm and someday I will be able to post photos of it, too... but for now, this is one belonging to a southern California palm grower.

top of trunk is neat, too, without all those 'ligule-like' things and messy twine.

leaf bases are really nice and fuzzy

here is a shot of his palm on the left, with a Trachycarpus princeps 'NOVA' on the right
