For years, this wonderful palm masqueraded as Trachycarpus wagnerianus, but, as it turned out, it was botanically described from a cultivated specimen (a no-no) and never known from the wild. This is simply a seed cultivar of Trachycarpus fortunei, albeit a truly fine one. In addition to proving very winter hardy, it makes a 20' tall trunk exactly like typical Trachycarpus fortunei, except the stiff round leaves are stunningly beautiful and much shorter...18" diameter compared to 33" diameter for typical Trachycarpus fortunei.

I have bought three from PD over the past couple years. One I kept potted and has grown beautifully. The other two I decided to put them in the ground, I’m near Boston in a zone 7a. So far they have taken 12 degrees unprotected and although have some minor leaf burn they are green. they grow steady throughout the summer months.

I purchased 6 of these last year. Managed to kill 2 with the lawnmower. Of the 4 remaining, all looked dead by winters end. I am at the Jersey shore in zone 7a, so pushing the limits for these. 2 have survived, and are putting out new growth.

A: Terry - You may have the correct species already. Palms are very slow growing...it will be 10 years or more before you get a retail-sized pot to grow into a tree-like form. If you are looking for other palms, we have plenty to choose from, including one that we discovered growing...view more
