About Windmill, Palm Seed
Tropical style well beyond the subtropics is possible with Windmill Palm, one of the hardiest palms in the world. Trachycarpus fortunei forms a single, slender trunk wrapped in shaggy brown fiber and topped with a neat crown of rounded, fan-shaped leaves. It stays compact enough for small yards, patios and courtyards, and performs well in containers. Unlike many palms, it tolerates light frost and part shade, making it a favorite for cooler coastal and temperate gardens.
