My small Trachycarpus Fortunei, the one which was potted in that winter of 2010 and planted the following spring, the one that pushed out a couple of tiny leaves last summer and looked to be getting the strangles, the one I cutall the fronds off to try and get moving again, has finally spear pulled.
I've been checking it every few days and, now the overnight temps have picked up, it must have lefy dormancy and started to transpire leading to the growth point becoming damaged.
I've treated it with H2O2 and placed half a plastic pop bottle over it to keep it dry and warmer. I stuck a bungee cord around it to keep it in place and now it's just time (again!)
If iy doesn't push a couple of new spears out by September then I'll cut it out of the soil and plant a Naini Tal there instead.
On the positive side, my 22 baby R.Hystrix have both unrolled theor first fronds of 2014. They are still small enough to be putting out non-split leaves but I think this year they'll be ready for their fist 'proper' fronds to come through.
Swings & Roundabouts!
