it says the T. martianus k. hills will tolerate mild frosts-that doesn't sound very cold hardy if they won't even put the word "freeze" in there. Very nice looking palm though. I think all Trachys are pretty cold hardy though. That one is worth trying.

I was pleasantly surprised by the size of this one, I am going to repot it and wait a year or so before I put it in the ground. I think you should see silver on the backs on any of the true leaves, or at least I got that impression from Tony. Like I said, it was very obvious looking at the two different ones which was the princeps and which wasn't.
Yes, Wallaby, you do need to start a new bed!! There are about 10 or more bananas you could have in the ground right now, 6 or more palms, I can't even begin to count the different gingers ( besides the hedychiums) etc. lol get that shovel out!

Here is another picture of the princeps
