| Thanks Jim, that was a real treat to see them in the natural habitat. I noticed they do not mind part shade and can grow from under large trees. They also grew on steep slopes. I have a hunch their roots are designed well for slopes and do not require a level surface like most other palms. Some leaves looked bent down and it had that look our unwraped palms get after a heavy snow. It must snow there once in a while. |

| Its a very beautiful palm, too bad that many plants sold as takil in the US are mislabeled. Those seem to be in very heavy shade and I think Trachys look best when in shade despite there slower growth and less resistance to wind and snow (since the leaves are so streched out). Thanks for sharing! |

| I had two of these but one died over the winter. Before i saw this I wasn't sure if mine was takil. Mine has stiff, thinly serrated leaves just like the one in the pic. I think this place sells real takil. Their info is off but this is real |
