Trachycarpus Fortunei are majestic specimens which can grow up to 15 meters tall. They are perfectly suited to urban planting schemes as they cope well with pollution and benefit from the extra warmth of a city. 

They are very drought tolerant and easy going so work well in a low maintenance scheme or in water conscious gardens. 

Mature specimens can flower with sprays of small, light yellow flowers. 

Best space & place

Grow Trachycarpus fortunei in full sun to dappled shade in a sheltered spot out of  prevailing winds which can damage leaves. 

When to water & feed

Grow in moist but well-drained, fertile soil. Reduce watering in winter months. They need very little care when planted in the ground and established.

Need to know

Trachycarpus are frost hardy but may need winter protection in prolonged periods of cold weather. Wrap the plant with hessian or horticultural fleece.
