Trachycarpus fortunei

Trachycarpus fortunei, commonly known as the Windmill Palm, is a hardy evergreen palm prized for its fan-shaped fronds and fibrous trunk. Well-suited to the UK climate, this cold-hardy palm thrives in a range of conditions, making it a popular choice for gardens, courtyards, and architectural landscaping. It can reach an ultimate height of 10–15 metres, adding striking vertical interest to outdoor spaces.

Thriving in well-drained soils, including loam, sand, and chalk, Trachycarpus fortunei flourishes in full sun to partial shade. It is exceptionally tolerant of cold temperatures, coastal winds, and urban pollution, making it a resilient and low-maintenance option for gardens and commercial landscapes.

This versatile palm is ideal for container planting, tropical gardens, and creating dramatic focal points. Its elegant, arching leaves and compact form provide year-round interest while requiring minimal upkeep.
