Trachycarpus latisectus

Sowing method: All year. For faster germination, rub the seeds between sandpaper or roughen them with a file and then soak them in warm water for several hours. Sow in loose seed compost, covering the seeds with a layer of soil three times the thickness of the seed. Optimal germination temperature 20°C-25°C. Cover the sown seeds with (fleece) cloth or foil to prevent drying out.
