Cheers, it's not one of my better ones, just me talking rather than doing. Hopefully the 10 metre tall washy at the start makes up for it.

Yeah, I was waiting to see you hump that thing along into the garage!

Well I guess someone will have to move it as soon it will hit the roof! Looks good condering last winter. The soil is kept at min 4 degrees but I'm sure the air would be colder.

i wonder if your multitrunker is slow growing due to the nature of multitrunk and having to share nutrients between each trunk?

My multitrunker has done nothing this year, single specimen is romping away

Got a small 3 trunk washy earlier this year. Am I right in thinking each trunk is a seperate palm? This might account for the slow growth although seperating them all in one piece could be difficult.

True multi trunkers will grow slower as they are competing for light, water and nutrients, but seriously in 5 years there has been practically no growth. Look how much Dave's has grown since 2007!
