Wow, that's a frothy beast!

Where'd you get it and how much?

cordyman · Post by **cordyman** » Fri Apr 26, 2013 2:29 pm

Nigel

Hardypalms

90-110cm trunk size

Tis certainly "frothy" much more hair than my other Trachycarpus F's. On par with my waggy's for hair.

Large palm there, will you be stripping the trunk or staying native?
