A Closer Look at Windmill Palm
A popular cold-hardy palm with a classic fan-leaf silhouette. A strong option when cold tolerance and a tropical fan-leaf canopy matter most.
Each plant's mature size, cold tolerance and care can vary with its exact variety and growing site. Review our care resources and ask our team about pot sizes, winter planning and the specimen you are considering.
Fan Canopy and Distinctive Trunk
Windmill Palm (Trachycarpus fortunei) carries rounded fan leaves above a distinctive fibrous trunk. Established female palms may form clusters of dark ornamental fruit after successful pollination, but the plant is grown mainly for its foliage and graceful shape.
Best Use for a Tropical-Looking Yard
Plant it as a focal point, use a pair to frame an entrance, or combine it with hardy understory plants. Choose a site with adequate drainage and protection from harsh winter winds, and allow extra water as the roots establish.
