Windmill Palm

Trachycarpus fortunei

The Windmill Palm is a very hardy, small to medium sized fan palm noted for its tropical, resort-style looks. Native to tropical Asia, homeowners across the Southwest can bring a little slice of paradise home thanks to this palm's adaptability. It's a clean, smaller fan palm that is great for use in small patios, narrow spaces, gardens, entryways, and any place in your landscape where a gentle tropical appeal is desired. These palm trees look fantastic around swimming pools, where smooth water can reflect the graceful fan-shaped fronds of the Windmill Palm.

A moderate to fast grower, they thrive in full sun or light shade and require only low to moderate water use once established. Young Windmill Palms can be grown indoors in a container, just be sure to place it in a room with bright, indirect light. Their dark green foliage adds a dramatic and somewhat formal look to any environment. Windmill Palms offer year-round interest, with their unique and slender trunks and dark green fronds adding a natural, tropical feel to any area.
