The Chinese Windmill Palm, or Trachycarpus Fortunei, is one of the most reliable and striking palms for European gardens. Native to northern China and named after biologist Robert Fortune, this palm naturally grows along the slopes of the Himalayas — where snow, cold, and wind are part of everyday life. Thanks to this hardy nature, it can withstand frost down to -18°C, making it a perfect choice for those who want an exotic look without the worry.
With its fan-shaped green leaves and sturdy trunk, the Windmill Palm adds instant elegance to patios, balconies, or gardens. It grows quickly when planted in the ground, with stems extending up to 25 cm per year, but it can also thrive in a large, deep pot. Place it in a sunny, well-drained spot and water regularly during hot summers. In winter, it requires little care — simply trim away older brown leaves to keep it looking fresh.
Delivered at 65–75 cm tall (including its 21 cm nursery pot), this palm is ready to bring lasting greenery to your outdoor space. Whether in a container or planted directly in your garden, the Trachycarpus Fortunei is a true year-round showstopper.
