Quickly check out our extensive range of Trachycarpus wagnerianus at MyPalmShop and discover which palm best suits your garden.

Origin of the Trachycarpus wagnerianus

Unlike the Trachycarpus fortunei, the Trachycarpus wagnerianus does not originate from China but likely stems from selective breeding in Japan. Today, the Wagner palm is commonly found in colder regions of Europe, such as the Pyrenees in Spain and Northern Italy. These areas experience hot summers as well as regular snowfall. Due to these conditions, the Trachycarpus wagnerianus is well-adapted to cold, requiring protection only during extremely low temperatures.

Characteristics of the Trachycarpus wagnerianus

The Trachycarpus wagnerianus is an elegant palm with dark green, fan-shaped leaves that add a graceful look to any garden or indoor space. It features a distinctive, hairy brown trunk, and its outward-spreading fronds make it a true eye-catcher. Each stem has thin, slender leaves that fan outward, resulting in a visually appealing tree. The palm is available in various sizes, allowing you to choose the perfect Wagner palm for your garden or balcony. The Trachycarpus wagnerianus is at its best when in bloom but can also thrive in colder climates due to its hardy nature, tolerating temperatures down to -17°C.

Trachycarpus wagnerianus in Various Sizes

At MyPalmShop, we offer the Trachycarpus wagnerianus in a range of sizes, from small to large. For instance, you can purchase a palm as small as 20 centimeters tall, but we also have specimens with trunk heights of 180 to 200 centimeters. This variety ensures you'll find a suitable Wagner palm for your garden, terrace, or balcony. Regardless of the size you choose, the Trachycarpus wagnerianus always brings a tropical atmosphere.

Trachycarpus wagnerianus vs. Trachycarpus fortunei

At MyPalmShop, we distinguish between different types of Trachycarpus palms, such as the Trachycarpus wagnerianus and the Trachycarpus fortunei. Both palms are hardy, but there are clear differences between them. For example, the Wagner palm has stiffer leaves, making it more resistant to wind. In contrast, the Trachycarpus fortunei is slightly less wind-resistant.

The growth rate of the Trachycarpus wagnerianus is generally slower than that of the fortunei, and the Wagner palm remains more compact. This gives the Wagner palm a bonsai-like appearance, which fits particularly well in exclusive gardens. In terms of leaf color, the Trachycarpus wagnerianus is darker green than the fortunei. Its leaves are also rounder in shape, giving the palm a more elegant look. Both palms are salt-resistant, making them suitable for gardens near the sea.

Trachycarpus wagnerianus x takil – The Best of Both Worlds

The Trachycarpus wagnerianus is often used for creating hybrids, such as the Trachycarpus wagnerianus x takil, a cross between the Trachycarpus wagnerianus and the Trachycarpus takil (the Kumaon palm). The Trachycarpus takil grows at altitudes up to 1800 meters and is therefore highly resistant to cold and snow. By crossing the Wagner palm and the takil, you get a palm that combines the best traits of both species: hardiness and wind resistance. Other hybrids are also regularly available, but please note that these are not always in stock.
