trachys planted in lines
I came across this house in Nottingham. I thought planting in lines may not look very good, but it actually looks a good theme!!

Looks great to me, but they are far too close to the house. Cracking specimens though.
Most wanted list - Any Young Trachycarpus and/or fern.

Re: tracheys planted in lines
This is what im planning to do in my garden, at the garden at east ruston in norfolk they use them to line either side of a path, which also works well.

I have planned my big one and the small ones in a group,
They look nice though in a line like solders...

That's a great look but, given the option, I'd much rather have a natural look than regimented.
Re: tracheys planted in lines
A single straight line is all they have space for!
Well I suppose they could knock the house down to make space for a natural group

Re: tracheys planted in lines
Looks good to me! Does seem really close to the house though, are trachycarpus roots as invasive as other trees? I.e would they cause damage to foundations that close to the house?

Re: trachys planted in lines
I like it as well. Wouldn't look right to me in a back garden but as a formal entrance to a house, I think it looks great

Re: trachys planted in lines
I have got more Trachys then that planted in the front of my house and down the side as well.
I think that house in Nottingham looks great and more people on this forum can if they have the room do the same.
A lot of palm trees in Vancouver are planted like that and the effect is quite exotic.
Also planting in threes in a center circle looks good as well.
Unless planted over drains those palms pose no problems to the foundations of that house and shouldn't do so in the future.
My palms are close to my house and up to now haven't been a problem.

Re: trachys planted in lines
Sometimes formality looks good, in this case I think it looks excellent, I would plant them like that.

Sounds like that scene in Salem's Lot with the boy floating in the air and scraping the window with his finger! That film still scares me!cordyman wrote:looks good to me, imagine waking up with a Trachycarpus leave tapping on your window BLISS
