Trachycarpus fortunei is a hardy outdoor fan palm with green, pleated leaves and a rough fibrous trunk that becomes more visible as older leaf bases build up. It suits sheltered patios, large planters and mild garden borders where the roots can drain freely and the crown is protected from strong drying wind. Growth is slow to steady, especially in containers, while established plants in the ground can eventually reach several metres. Use full sun to light shade, water deeply during dry spells and protect potted roots during hard frost.
