Fortune's Palm, sometimes called the Windmill Palm or Chusan Palm,  is the hardiest of all palm trees and can be planted in the ground anywhere in the UK. It can withstand freezing temperatures, high winds, rain, sleet, or snow, and any amount of neglect! Being a palm, it will find it's own water source so you don't need to worry about watering if it's in the ground. Evergreen, it will provide interest all year round, and when mature will actually bear fruit and seed in this country. Truly a remarkable palm tree.

Note that this palm tree can be kept INDOORS all year round if you prefer - they make fabulous house plants and can be put out on the patio at ANY time of the year. However,Trachycarpus palms are the hardiest of all palm trees, and we have had many larger specimens outside at the nursery this winter down to -12C and in heavy snow!

The photos  show the actual specimens on offer (taken March and May  2017). . This is a   LARGE approx. 5ft-5.5ft tall specimen (inc. pot) rooted in a 20litre pot. It has an approx.  18-20inch trunk and an approx. 3ft-3.5ft diameter spread of weeping foliage - weeping foliage is specific to the fortunei palm, and this palm only has straight leaves when they first appear. THIS IS A HEAVY PALM TREE! You are buying one palm.

POSITION: Outdoors (fully hardy) , or in a light position in the house.  In a deep container, or in the ground. Prefers free draining soil (use a gravel and compost mix).

WATERING: Water only required if it is kept in a container, otherwise the rain will do the rest. 

CARE: none required(!). A very easy plant to look after. Slow growing, non-invasive, and can be safely planted next to the house.
