Add instant tropical structure and proven UK hardiness to your garden with our mature 7-8ft Trachycarpus fortunei Palm Tree – the UK’s favourite hardy Windmill Palm. This impressive specimen features a thick, fibrous trunk topped with a full crown of large, fan-shaped green leaves that sway beautifully in the breeze, creating a classic Mediterranean or exotic look.
Supplied at 7-8ft (210-240cm) total height in a large pot, this ready-to-plant palm delivers immediate garden impact. Trachycarpus fortunei is one of the hardiest palms for British gardens (survives down to -15°C once established) and performs exceptionally well in exposed, coastal or urban sites. It pairs beautifully with other statement plants from our Palm Trees and plants-and-trees collections.
Far more cold-tolerant and architectural than many other palms, this Windmill Palm is a long-term favourite for UK gardeners seeking reliable subtropical style without the worry of winter losses.
