Default Re: Trachycapus Fortunei leaf size.

Palm fronds in the greenhouses can be 4 to 5 times longer than those created in normal, non-greenhouse climate.
This is mainly caused by relatively stable humidity, windiless conditions and reduced sunlight (filtered EM frequencies from the light - by glass, PVC...).
Trachys in milder climates have smaller, yet very compact and dense leave, Trachys in subtropical climates have larger, weaker leaves.

Ante, any interesting palm your repository? Some that could survive here?
I have to rid of my Nannorrhopses, I germinated about 50 seedlings and now don't know what to do about them. I didn't expect to have 100% germination ration.
