About This Plant
Trachycarpus fortuneii (Windmill Fan Palm), 'Windmill Fan Palm' is valued in the landscape for character, form, and seasonal interest.
Windmill Palm , exceptionally hardy fan palm from China; the most cold-hardy true palm widely grown. Reliable in coastal southern Oregon with shelter.
Full sun to part shade suits this species. Plant in moist, well-drained soil. Hardy USDA Zone 8 to 11. Among the hardiest palms, tolerates short freezes to ~5°F. Avoid wet feet.
True palms are not native to the PNW; for a similarly bold evergreen specimen, consider Arbutus menziesii (Pacific Madrone) , sculptural reddish bark, glossy evergreen leaves, and a place of pride in southern Oregon's native flora.
