Re: Trachycarpus question 5
Although I have a garden full of Trachys, I don't pretend to be any sort of expert as every one looks totally different to another, they are so variable! But I will give you my opinion for what it's worth. Number 5 is a Princeps, your Waggy isn't a true Waggy leaves look to big and not stiff enough. The one leaning in the pot, is it in fact leaning or moving sideways as some varieties do.

Re: Trachycarpus question 5
As Jason said. The silver undersides is the standout of T.princeps.

Re: Trachycarpus question 5
Grenville, as you have had little response on here, you may do better on EPS the knowledge on there is sometimes mind boggling regarding Trachys.

Re: Trachycarpus question 5
Thanks for your answers.
However the overall lack of responses tells me almost as much, from that and with David's comments I infer that the differences between some Trachycarpus are perhaps subtle, and so maybe I don't really need to be adding any more to the garden.
I've added the names that I have for the others posted, this one came as T Naga Hills, syn T Manipur (?).
Thanks again to all how looked or answered.

Re: Trachycarpus question 5
It can be very difficult to tell apart the species. I'm growing them all together in my garden so I can compare them all side by side and note differences in appearance, growth rate and hardiness. This one looks like oreophilus but could be manipur.
