WHAT YOU WILL RECEIVE

• Grown in a 4-inch nursery pot

• A live plant similar to the pictures

Each plant is unique. Leaf size, fullness, color, and overall appearance may vary from the photographs. The plant you receive may not be the exact specimen shown.

PLANT FEATURES

• Fan-shaped leaves: Green, rounded, fan-like fronds create a classic palm appearance.

• Cold-hardy palm: More tolerant of cold weather than many tropical palm species once established, although protection may still be needed in severe conditions.

• Container-friendly when young: Grow it in a suitable pot with drainage and repot as it develops.

• Landscape potential: With time and favorable growing conditions, mature plants can become impressive outdoor palms.

Windmill Palms can eventually reach approximately 20–30 feet or more in suitable outdoor conditions. Growth rate and mature size depend on climate, soil, and care.

WINDMILL PALM CARE GUIDE

Light: Grow in full sun to partial shade. In very hot climates, young plants may benefit from protection against intense afternoon sun while they establish.

Water: Water regularly during establishment and whenever the soil begins to dry. Once established, the palm can tolerate some dry periods, but prolonged drought may stress it. Avoid waterlogged soil.

Soil: Use fertile, well-draining soil. For container growing, choose a quality potting mix and a pot with drainage holes.

Temperature: Trachycarpus fortunei is one of the more cold-tolerant palms. It is commonly grown in USDA Zones 7b–11, although actual survival depends on the duration of cold, wind exposure, plant maturity, and growing conditions. Leaf damage can occur during freezing weather, so protection may be necessary.

Fertilizer: During active growth in spring and summer, use a quality palm fertilizer according to the package directions. Avoid overfertilizing.

Pruning: Remove completely brown or badly damaged fronds as needed. Preserve healthy green fronds to support the plant's growth.

Container growing: A 4-inch pot is suitable for a young plant. As the roots and foliage develop, move it into a larger container with adequate drainage. Outdoor container palms may need extra protection in cold weather because their roots are more exposed.

INDOOR OR OUTDOOR GROWING

Windmill Palm is primarily an outdoor ornamental palm and generally performs best outdoors with suitable light and room to grow. It may be grown temporarily in a bright indoor location, but long-term indoor growth can be challenging without sufficient light and space.

AFTER SHIPPING
