		My favourite hardy palm from China that I have been growing for maybe 30 years. I have lost one before in a particularly cold and wet winter in Chesham but I think it was the wet rather than the cold that proved fatal. In Oxford we have experienced temperatures down to about minus 15C in the past which did not damage the plant in the picture. Once established it grows quickly and we are probably talking about planting one out in your Garden in its 3rd or 4th year from seed to give it a chance to succeed. A must for any Palm devotee it has a very hairy trunk with huge (and I mean huge up to 4 ft across) fan shaped leaves and grows well in most soils particularly slightly alkaline. The photograph on the left was taken in our garden, illustrating a 20 years old palm flowering in May.
