Washie Washingtonia has grown faster than Trachycarpus here over the last 15 years

£40....bargain? If so, and if you're in Brum, there's plenty more!!

2 years ago I bought the most magnicifent washie from Akamba - only about one foot of trunk,but 6 foot of petioles in a perfect dome (it was my pride and joy at the time(!) and all for £99!) It lagged a bit, and then got totally decimated the ...
