	water info	We have heard of this palm thriving when planted in an area of standing groundwater (to the point where it filled the holes over night at the time of planting). This was in San Francisco. In this particular instance they watered the palm well for one year and haven’t watered it since and it looks flawless.

Growing Notes

T. martianus is slower growing than other trachycarpus; we have a friend who planted one side by side with a Trachycarpus latisectus and after eight years the latisectus has an eight foot trunk and the martianus trunk is only six feet tall.

Unlike most trachycarpus this one spontaneously sheds its old leaves once mature, leaving a clean smooth trunk.
