I wonder if they remain there all year. All sorts of plants absolutely love growing on the fiber on my Pygmy Date Palms...impatiens, begonias, ferns, orchids, peperomias and so on. Not sure if the fiber on Trachycarpus is more, less or equally suitable. My friend has an orchid, Laelia anceps, doing really well on his. I wonder if a thick layer of plants growing on the trunk of a Trachycarpus would help or hurt in terms of cold protection. It would certainly increase the value to space ratio.
