Trachycarpus fortunei seedlings with 1-3 leaves.
Commonly known as the Chinese windmill palm, Trachycarpus fortunei features a slender, fibrous trunk that can grow up to 12 meters (40 feet) tall with a diameter of about 20 to 30 centimeters (8 to 12 inches). The trunk is often covered in a dense mat of coarse fibers from old fronds, giving it a textured appearance. At the crown, it displays a lush rosette of fan-shaped fronds that can reach lengths of up to 1.5 meters (5 feet), characterized by deep green, palmate leaves that create a tropical aesthetic.
Native to the mountainous regions of China and the Himalayas, the Chinese windmill palm thrives in temperate to subtropical climates, preferring well-drained soils and partial to full sunlight. It is highly resistant to cold and can tolerate temperatures as low as -15°C (5°F), making it one of the boldest palms available. Trachycarpus fortunei also demonstrates good resilience to wind, enhancing its suitability for various landscapescaping applications. Its robust growth habit and attractive appearance have made it a popular choice for ornamental planting in gardens, parks, and urban settings, particularly in cooler climates.
