This time I want to collect the pictures of the little palm tree (I don't even know exactly which species it is) which is growing in a small corner of our garden. Around here there are some people who planted palm trees in their garden, even if the tree doesn't seem to enjoy the winter (and in particular the snow days) so much, but this little palm is particularly weird because no one remembers to have planted it and also because it is growing in a quite unfortunate spot (really close to an old rosemary plant and to a fence). That's a Trachycarpus fortunei, it is likely the seed was dropped by a bird if there are others growing where you live.
Around here there are some people who planted palms like that in their gardens, but I've never considered that those palm could get so well acclimatised to produce real fruits and seeds (I should look closely to our neighbour garden to see if their palms have fruits on them).
Logically it sounds like a plausible explanation now, but instinctively I still fell like a palm tree growing in here is quite out of place

Yes that is one of the most cold tolerant palms, they like cool climates in general too & thrive in most of the UK, seeding readily there as well. |

Nobody planted them, they grew from seeds dropped by birds as flaminggalah suggested.

Awesome photos Grey, looks like everything grows very quickly there and can pretty much fill in an entire area in a matter of years.
