Windmill Palm Tree [Trachycarpus fortunei]

The Windmill Palm Tree is special for Northern gardeners because of its ability to withstand the extreme cold winters of Canada and Northern states of the U.S. The idea of growing a tropical landscape in the North will brighten up your pool or patio even in Northern winters.


For tropical beauty at your poolside or patio enjoyment, plant a Windmill Palm Tree that survives with green leaves in snow and ice winters in Northern states. Can you believe Windmill Palm Trees survive cold temperatures of Michigan and Illinois winters?


Very large Windmill Palm Trees can be seen growing at the entrance of the old clubhouse at the Retreat Plantation Golf Resort on St. Simon's Island, GA. Other large Windmill Palm Trees grow near the pool areas and the entrances to the new beach club at the Cloister Hotel on Sea Island, GA.

The Windmill Palm Tree is the perfect landscape specimen to plant near a patio or pool for that tropical feel. The roots of the Windmill Palm Tree radiate outwards from the trunk like spokes on a wheel and are shallow, fleshy and will not undermine concrete walkways or clog up pipes.


Windmill Palm Trees are a national garden treasure, adaptable to every state because of the cold hardy tolerance that survives cold of 20 degrees below zero F. Truckloads of Windmill Palm Trees have been imported into Canada by nursery operations and to landscapes in malls.


Many gardeners prefer to buy and plant Windmill Palm Trees in containers, so that the trees can be easily moved from locations outside to indoors. In European capitols like Paris and Rome, giant containerized Windmill Palm Trees line the streets or are placed clustered in "no traffic" streets bordered by sidewalk cafes.

American tourists in Switzerland have notices for years that the Windmill Palm Trees grow near Lake Lucerne Switzerland at the foot of the snow covered alps, and this alerted nurserymen in America to test the Windmill Palm Tree in New England. Once tests proved that the Windmill Palm Tree could easily survive cold temperatures, gardeners everywhere began to hysterically buy out inventories at every nursery and that created a supply shortage for many years.


Treat the Windmill Palm Tree like the desert plant that it is, and it will thrive, like many types of palm trees, the Windmill Palm Tree is salt water tolerant and resistant to the exhaust fumes automobiles. Along the coastal areas of the Carolinas, Georgia and Florida, the Windmill Palm Tree can be found growing in salt water spray only a few yards from the ocean waters.


The black and brown fibers that encircle the trunk of the Windmill Palm Tree give insulation to the tree that during freezing weather protects the plant from cold damage. From a distance the fibers on the trunk of the Windmill Palm Tree are hairy in appearance, flowing outwardly in irregular dramatic patterns.


Buy a Windmill Palm Tree as the Northern gardener's answer for that tropical palm look around a pool or patio.
