Tropical Centre the source for your palms!

Welcome to Waggie land!!!

It's a rare and unique palm, but as you can see, not for Tropical Centre.
Although, with a population of 720 million Europeans as potential customers..1000 fullgrown Trachycarpus wagnerianus which we have currently for sale, seem to be rare again. Also this palm is on our wholesale list, so it's advisable to order quickly.

The Trachycarpus wagnerianus is the best palm for outside. Just as winterhardy as the normal trachycarpus fortunei (-17°C) but with much harder leaves, so more resistant to wind and storms, and because of it's beautiful appearance the No. 1 palm for outside.

Trachycarpus martianus:


Trachycarpus Martianus (Khasia Hills Form)
Another unique palm by Tropical Centre, especially this big size which is seldom offered! This palm is loved by collectors because of its' elegant appearance, with neat crowns of fine fan shaped leaves, with numerous segments and regularly divided. The petioles are covered with a white tomentum tiny white fibres, giving the petiole a slightly hairy appearance. Suitable for pot, -6°C.

25 liter pots, 25-30cm trunk height, 1.10 mtr total height, price: € 110,-

 

Chamaerops humilis 'cerifera':

Chamaerops humilis‘cerifera’
This palm grows in the Atlas mountains in Marocco up to 1700 m, it is a suckering specie (multiple trunks) and can reach a height of 2.50 till 3.50 mtr. Its main attraction is the colour of the leaves, an intense blue-silver like Brahea armata. This palm offers all a palm-enthusiast could wish for. It is as robust and adaptable as its regular green relative and happy in a wide range of conditions, tolerating extremes of cold -13°C, as well as heat and drought or full sun to shade. However with our climat in Holland we advise to protect it against rain in winter.

25 liter pots, multitrunked trunk sizes 20-25cm, total height 90cm, price: € 110,-
