Description

You may know this exotic beauty as the Windmill Palm or Chusan Palm, but regardless of what you call the Trachycarpus fortunei, this hardy and evergreen palm tree is sure to bring fascination to your garden!

With deep-green, tough, fan-shaped leaves that produce wonderful shadows on the patio or lawn, this palm will become a brilliant centrepiece to draw the eye, regardless of where it is planted.

While being perfectly suited for planting directly into the ground in a warm and sunny spot, Trachycarpus is also ideal for a large patio pot as it’s compact and slow growing. This means that you can enjoy it regardless of the size of your garden, and if you move, you can simply take it with you without worrying about losing your investment.

Winner of a prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit, you can be guaranteed that this is a garden-worthy plant that has been trialled and tested for its suitability to grow in UK gardens.

Supplied as an established potted plant, already approximately 50-60cm tall, including the nursery pot.

Top Tips
Simply cut off the leaves when they turn brown and over time, an upright, woody, fibrous trunk is formed.
Care Information
  • Grow in any well-drained, fertile soil in full sun or lightly dappled shade.
  • Needs protection from strong or cold drying winds and will need protection from hard winter frosts by wrapping the leaves.
  • If you live in an area prone to frost, you should consider growing Trachycarpus in a pot.
  • Use a soil-based compost, such as John Innes No 2, with extra grit added to improve stability of the post and help drainage.
  • Add controlled-release fertiliser granules to the pot or use a liquid feed every two week from mid-spring to late summer.
  • Check plants and repot every two years in spring so that the soil does not become exhausted and stale.
Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
