The Girls refers to my 2 female Trachys . I only have 2 females out of 7 Trachys . I may take the inflorescences off of the male Nainital and apply it to these 2 females , and cut off the inflorescences on the other 4 males .

The first female is a Taylor Form : :

I don't know anything about the origin of this female :

Thanks for looking .

I think you should try silver Med palms at the base!
That Washy has a strong will to live.

Silver Meds would look great and I have one , but it's in a very protected spot . I think I'm just out of range from those doing well without great siting or protection .
Thanks,
