Windmill Palm
Trachycarpus fortunelWindmill Palm is perhaps the hardiest of the trunked palms. It forms a slender trunk and can reach 40' when mature and can fit into narrow spaces, making it suitable for even a small garden. Windmill palm is one of the most commonly available palms and is considered hardy to about -5 degrees F.
If you want to try a palm in your garden, I suggest you start with the hardiest ones: windmill palm or palmetto. The ideal spot for a palm in your garden will have some protection from winter winds. This doesn't matter as much on the coast, but it can be important in say north GA.
The temperatures given regarding cold hardiness are for general guidelines only. Older specimens can survive lower temps than younger ones. A palm that can survive 5 degrees F. for a few hours cannot survive for several days like that. Young palms are more susceptible to cold than older specimens, so don't hesitate to give them some winter protection. (not an edible palm) Zone 7.

Sorry, but at the current time we do not have a care guide for Windmill Palm or it is still in one of the boxes from the old site and hasn't been unpacked yet. Sorry for any inconvenience.
