Re: is this a fortune?
Looks like a palm to me
I take it you mean a Trachycarpus fortunei ?
Looks more Livistona to me.

Re: is this a fortune?
I have a couple of Trachycarpus that have 360 degree leaves, but they are not as circular, that trait is more Livistona to me. Not sure about the trunk tho'.
Best regards

Re: is this a fortune?
Looks like a Trachycarpus thats been shaded out for a few years by that now dead treefern.
Re: is this a fortune?
It is a pup of the big one next to it took me 2 hours to dig out and separate. Main trunk is dead.
Has little spikes on the stems like a chamareops.

Its looks like a shade grown fortunei, a better pic of the plant would confirm. It could possibly be chamerops humilis but would have to be VERY stretched.

Re: is this a fortune?
