TRACHYCARPUS FORTUNEI: Chinese Windmill Palm, Chusan Palm

​

These are the hot ticket items! Because they are cold hardy into the teens, a wider (and more northerly) audience can reap the tropical benefits. Drought tolerant, cold tolerant and low maintenance. They will perform best in partial shade in a well draining soil.

 

With young Windmills: 

It is important that you do not over water as roots have a tendency to rot.

Cover when the temperature falls into the 20s until they are well established.

They will become more cold tolerant with maturity.
