According to us, the form of Trachycarpus martianus from the Khasia Hills, once known as Trachycarpus khasianus, is the most elegant Trachycarpus! Its slender, bare trunk supports a full, open crown of elegantly arching, very regular and much segmented, large fan leaves. Well suited to subtropical as well as temperate climates, it will tolerate moderate frosts. It can be easily grown and grows quickly.
