Trachycarpus sp. Kinla Hill

More Info

A recently named rare palm from China. Seeds collected 10k away from the Stone Gate in China which is home to the stunning Trachycarpus princeps that has become highly sought after. Initially when I first grew this I felt it was actually another form of nova which is still entirely possible. But it’s faster growing and has a good amount of colouring on the tops and undersides of the leaf. When I compare it to the wild form of nova collected at the stonegate then this is different.
