Windmill Palm (Trachycarpus fortunei) is one of the most cold-tolerant palms available, making it a go-to choice for gardeners wanting a tropical feel beyond the typical palm zones. Its upright trunk is covered in coarse, hairy fibers, topped with a crown of broad, fan-like green fronds that sway gently in the breeze. Typically growing 10–20 feet tall, it’s slow-growing and compact enough for smaller yards or courtyard plantings. Windmill Palm thrives in full sun to partial shade and tolerates wind, heat, and even snow with protection. It’s a striking, low-maintenance option for adding vertical interest and exotic appeal.
