Windmill Palm

Trachycarpus fortunei: The Northern Gardener's Palm

Few palms tolerate freezing temperatures like the Windmill Palm. Its slender trunk is cloaked in distinctive hairy black fibers—a unique textural feature. Atop sits a compact crown of fan-shaped fronds, creating a classic palm silhouette that fits smaller spaces.

Versatile & Resilient

Hardy to USDA Zone 7b, this palm thrives in full to partial sun with low water needs. It excels as a garden specimen, patio tree, poolside accent, or container plant. At 15–35 feet tall and 7–12 feet wide, it brings tropical flair to temperate landscapes without the tropical size.
