Windmill Palm – Trachycarpus fortunei Seeds | 120 Seeds | Hardy Evergreen Palm | Cold Hardy Tropical Tree

Grow your own cold-hardy tropical landscape feature with Windmill Palm (Trachycarpus fortunei), one of the most winter-tolerant palms available. Native to mountainous regions of Asia, this evergreen palm delivers a lush tropical appearance while thriving in climates far cooler than most palms — hardy to approximately 10°F (Zone 7B).

Windmill Palm develops a slender single trunk wrapped in coarse brown fiber that gradually sheds to reveal a smooth, ringed surface. Its fan-shaped green fronds can grow up to 3 feet across, forming a balanced, symmetrical crown 8–10 feet wide. In late winter to early spring, bright yellow flower clusters emerge within the crown. Female plants may produce attractive blue fruits in late summer.

Highly adaptable, this palm tolerates cold, heat, moderate drought, urban conditions, and some salt exposure. It performs beautifully as a specimen tree, patio accent, courtyard feature, poolside planting, or container-grown palm. This 120-seed pack is ideal for larger landscape plantings, nursery production, or establishing palm groupings and groves.

You will receive:
✔️ 120 Windmill Palm seeds
✔️ Clearly labeled seed packet
✔️ Sowing instructions included
✔️ Non-pretreated seeds
✔️ Secure packaging for safe delivery
