PALM DIARY FEBRUARY
February is pretty well the coldest month of the year in North and West Europe. You should not water or feed your palms in this period. Make sure your palms are covered with a blanket to protect from the biting east wind. Don't forget, just like humans your palm prefers -10C in wind-still conditions to -8C with wind!

We've put our whole stock on offer - 10% reduction on everything! We want to make some room in our greenhouses for the exciting new stock in spring. So go to our shop and grab yourself a few plants while stocks last!

The winter palm - Trachycarpus wagnerianus

Trachycarpus wagnerianus

Trachycarpus wagnerianus, (the winter palm), the new cold-hardy sensation from the Himalayas is becoming a modern design-statement. It's popularity is transcending traditional gardening circles as design-concious Europeans are choosing it to complement traditional or modern planting in front or back garden, drive-way, office or municipal setting. This plant is extraordinarily resilient and grows to a beautiful and graceful plant. We have extended our collection of these beautiful plants - see our shop for details!

The Palm passport

Since the Red Palm Weevil became a serious problem some years ago in Spain after accidental import from Asia and Egypt all palm sellers are required to issue a palm passport for palms with trunks wider than 5 cm and for the species mentioned on the RPW (red palm weevil ) list. We issue this passport automatically for free for all plants which fall in this category.

Classification:
Order: Coleoptera
Family: Curculionidae
Scienctific name: Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier)
Common name: Red Palm Weevil and/or Asian Palm Weevil and Indian palm weevil.
There are other species of this genus as follows:
Rhynchophorus bilineatus, Rhynchophorus cruentatus, Rhynchophorus palmarum, Rhynchophorus papuanus, Rhynchophorus phoenicis, Rhynchophorus schach, Rhynchophorus vulneratus.

Raphidophyllum hystrix

We call the Trachycarpus wagnerianus the Winter palm, but little beauty should be called the Ice palm! It's pretty well the hardiest palm we know and will survice temperatures below -20 celcius! As such it is, along with the wagnerianus, ideal for Northern Europe. On offer this month .. see our shop for details!
