@@phylliswright5812 I do wrap them in frost cloth in extreme events usually once or twice a year. Sabal minor and needle palm need nothing though. Very reliable palms!
The species was brought from Japan (Dejima) to Europe by the German physician Philipp Franz von Siebold in 1830. The common name refers to Chusan Island (now Zhoushan Island), where Robert Fortune first saw cultivated specimens. In 1849, Fortune smuggled plants from China to the Kew Horticultural Gardens and the Royal garden of Prince Albert of the United Kingdom. It was later named , after him. It was first described by Carl Friedrich Philipp von Martius in 1850
Interesting. Thus Trachycarpus Martianus??? Seems like Fortune shouldn’t get credit. I’m sticking with the “Fortune Cooke Palm”. If all those lefties can tear down statues and rewrite history, I should be able to do the same with a few plants.
ACTUALLY, The exact origin of fortune cookies is unclear, though various immigrant groups in California claim to have popularized them in the early 20th century. They most likely originated from cookies made by Japanese immigrants to the United States in the late 19th or early 20th century
This destroys their cold hardiness.
Looks stunning -great job
Good work on the first time Trachy skinning, you could use full arborist glasses for the fibers they shed.
Awesome video of some beautiful trees! The trachys are just so versatile, they thrive when planted here in Southern Delaware!
Nice! I have success with them here in SE Pennsylvania 🌴
Do you have to cover the palm in the winter or heat to-keep from freezing.?

Thanks for the vid. I'm in the process of doing this to my windmill in VA, it sucks, especially once you get high enough to need a ladder.

@@ScaryHairyGary well said Gary
@@ScaryHairyGary yeah !! we’re gonna keep doing it w the statues so i guess keep doing the same w your plants !
I love the hairy trunks look like coconuts
Some appreciate the hair, others don't.
Its crazy how much they change in appearance after skinning them. They look like a straight up tropical like that.
Yes, so exotic. They do lose some cold hardiness survivability from it though.
They don’t look too bad 👍🏻
I actually like this look.
It is the name of Robert Fortune a U.K. plant hunter who discovered the plant in China.
Gary knows a thing or two about shaving hairy trunks!
This is very true.
Be careful. You risk a video ban for Palm nudity 😅
Ha! I’ll limit my exposure.
😂
It's named after someone
Fortune cookies are not Chinese. Invented in USA by Chinese restauranter
