I love my garden. It really is my therapeutic place to go. I love grasses, ferns and cannas along with the usual suspects and some bedding plants

Not only do I not know what this plant is Iโ€™m not sure whatโ€™s wrong with it. The tips of the leaves are black even as they first emerge.

Hi Steven. Welcome to this great gardening community ๐Ÿ‘‹ Your plant is a type of palm, I believe, so the best people to help you with identification and care are Angie and Dave ๐Ÿคž @angiecrazycatlady @porto Good luck and enjoy using the app! ๐Ÿ˜€

It's a trachycarpus fortunei I think, as can't see the trunk very well, if it's hairy then definitely a trachycarpus. Have you fed it lately? Liquid seaweed or palm focus will be good ๐Ÿ‘

@stevenbingley hi, it's a #trachycarpus and the black tip could be frost damage instead of lack of water or feeding with is more black spotting, but I'd give it a good water and feed. Hope that's a help, ๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŒด

Thanks angiecrazycatlady and porto. Iโ€™ve got two smaller ones that are really struggling. Leaves are dying and falling off like thereโ€™s no tomorrow. Would you recommend food and water for them also?
