These are the two Trachycarpus palms. I don't like taking off too many leaves. I removed the bottom leaves to facilitate mowing, using a riding mower.
One winter (roughly 2014 maybe?) a hard freeze killed most of the growing point of the tree on the right. I thought it was dead, so planted the other. Sometimes life finds a way. A new growing point emerged. Crooked and one-sides at first. Then it grew back to normal.
All it takes is a little breeze, and the fronds quiver and dance. Same idea as quaking aspen, but these remind me of egrets dancing.
