A little about this plant

Chusan Palm - Trachycarpus fortunei
The Chusan Palm is the hardiest of all the fan palms and the one that surprises people most. They see it and assume it'll struggle in a British winter. It doesn't. Mature specimens handle temperatures well below -10°C and some have been growing in UK gardens for decades without so much as a fleece. It's the closest thing to a truly carefree outdoor palm you'll find.

Native to central and eastern China, Trachycarpus fortunei develops a distinctive fibrous, hairy trunk over time and large, deeply divided fan-shaped leaves that can reach a metre across. It grows a little faster than most palms, adding real presence to a garden over a few seasons rather than decades.

This plant is also known as the Windmill Palm and the Chinese Windmill Palm.

Plant in full sun or lightly dappled shade in well-drained, fertile soil. Shelter from strong, cold or drying winds - the leaves can shred in exposed positions. Water regularly while establishing; once settled, it's relatively low maintenance. Feed in spring and summer.

Decorative pot not included.

outdoor plant FAQs

How long should I wait until repotting my outdoor plant?

Your outdoor plant will be happiest planted into the garden as soon as possible after it arrives, provided the ground isn't frozen or waterlogged.
Spring and autumn are the best seasons for planting, but with a little extra watering, many outdoor plants can also be planted successfully during summer.

How often should I water it?

Water well after planting, then continue watering regularly for the first few weeks while the roots establish.

Will the plant surive all year round outside?

Most outdoor plants are chosen to grow outside and can happily stay outdoors all year round. However, this does depend on the specific plant variety and the conditions in your garden.
