Chinese Windmill Palm Seeds


Chinese Windmill Palm
P68 Chinese Windmill Palm ( Trachycarpus fortunei )
Chinese Windmill palm is one of the most cold hardy palms available. It is beautifully compact and grows to heights of 20-40 feet. Windmill palm has a rather slender single stem that is 8-10 inches in diameter and is typically a bit narrower at the base than at the top.
Trunks are usually covered with a loose mat of coarse gray or brown fiber. In older individuals the fiber sloughs away to reveal a smooth ringed surface.
Has light to dark green palmate leaves that are lighter, almost silvery (glaucous), on the underside.
It is commonly grown as a landscape specimen in central and northern Florida, the southeastern U.S. Atlantic and Gulf Coasts, and in mild areas along the west coast. It has been sighted in northerly latitudes from Charlotte, North Carolina to Atlanta, Georgia to Vancouver, British Columbia.
This palm makes a great accent which fits well into small areas like courtyards and entries. It is a tough plant and survives in hot urban landscapes and even thrives there if watered and fed. This palm is perfect for containers if care is taken that they are well drained.
Hardy to zone 7b.
