About the Trachycarpus princeps x wagnerianus - M
Trachycarpus princeps × wagnerianusTrachycarpus princeps × wagnerianus is a unique hybrid palm from the Arecaceae family that combines the qualities of Trachycarpus princeps and Trachycarpus wagnerianus. This hybrid is valued for its cold hardiness, compact growth, and distinctive foliage coloration. Among palm enthusiasts, it is considered an excellent combination of elegance and durability.
The palm develops an upright trunk topped with a crown of sturdy fan-shaped leaves. From Trachycarpus princeps, it often inherits a silvery underside to the leaves, while Trachycarpus wagnerianus contributes more compact and wind-resistant foliage. The result is an attractive and resilient ornamental palm.
