Windmill Palm – Trachycarpus fortunei Seeds | 240 Seeds | Cold Hardy Evergreen Palm

Create your own cold-hardy tropical landscape with Windmill Palm (Trachycarpus fortunei), one of the most winter-tolerant palms available. This evergreen palm combines exotic beauty with impressive durability, thriving in USDA Zones 7B–11 and tolerating temperatures down to approximately 10°F.

Native to mountainous regions of China and surrounding areas, Windmill Palm forms a slender trunk wrapped in attractive brown fiber that gradually sheds to reveal a smooth, ringed surface. Its large, fan-shaped green fronds can reach 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 later produce decorative blue fruits in late summer.

This 240-seed pack is ideal for:
✔️ Nursery growing and resale
✔️ Landscaping projects
✔️ Creating palm groves
✔️ Large garden plantings
✔️ Cold-hardy tropical landscapes

Windmill Palm performs beautifully as a specimen tree, patio accent, courtyard feature, poolside planting, or container-grown palm. It tolerates cold, moderate drought, urban pollution, and light salt exposure.
