Trachycarpus wagnerianus - Short leaved Chusan palm

Absolutely the best palm for your garden. Superior in every way to Trachycarpus fortunei we believe this palm will one day replace the common fortunei as the most popular palm, as it has qualities which make it the perfect choice for our gardens:

• Very tolerant to cold in combination with humidity
• Small and stiff leaves, more suitable for small gardens
• When small, an almost bonsai-like quality and a superb architectural presence when mature
• No problems keeping this palm potted in winter close to a wall
• Great wind tolerance
• The perfect choice for coastal situations
• Excellent root system and very tolerant of transplantation.

Unlike Trachycarpus fortunei the palm seems to originate from Japan and Korea at higher latitudes. This means the palm needs to adapt to more summer heat and humidity combined with extreme winter cold, making it by far the most adaptable cold hardy palm in existence.

Otherwise very similar in cultural requirements to Trachycarpus fortunei.
