Default Re: When will trachycarpus fortunei start growing a trunk?




Here's mine that's 5 years old and now has a little over a 1ft. trunk . It started as a single leaf when I bought it and is going outside in the ground this spring. I bet yours will start developing the fan leaves this year. One thing I learned from Ante is that you really need a large pot even for the small ones and they develop large root system before pushing good growth.
