Uprights at Abbotsbury
Visited Abbotsbury subtropical gardens.
Still digesting the place.
There's a thin garden next to the colonial tearooms. Can someone ID these tall specimens for me:
Maps and guides were a bit lacking there. Certainly an interesting location.

Some sort of palm. It's hard to tell from the pictures. They might be Trachycarpus fortunei as they are hardy in the UK for the most part.
look like Trachycarpus, and very old specimens as well, maybe 70+ years
Yes seems not many people photograph them because they are so tall.
Perhaps this is a better shot:

Asking as some seeds fell on my head, and I thought I might have a go at sprouting them.
The tall three look like they've outgrown the space, it's hard to see the tops.

I think they are meant to grow quite well from seeds. Good luck!
