The Windmill Palm is a classic and beloved cold-hardy palm, easily recognized by its slender, hairy trunk and crown of stiff, fan-shaped leaves that resemble a windmill. Covered in a dense layer of brown fibers, its trunk adds significant textural interest. It is incredibly adaptable, tolerating a wide range of conditions from full sun to shade, and is one of the hardiest trunking palms available, making it a staple for adding a reliable tropical touch to temperate climate gardens.

• Extremely Cold Hardy: The gold standard for cold tolerance among trunking palms, surviving temperatures down to 5-10°F (-15 to -12°C).

• Distinctive Hairy Trunk: The trunk is covered in a persistent coat of brown, fibrous hair from old leaf bases.

• Stiff, Wind-Resistant Foliage: The deep green, fan-shaped leaves are held on long petioles and are quite resistant to wind tatter.

• Adaptable to Sun or Shade: Grows well in a variety of light conditions, from full sun to fairly deep shade.

• Slow to Moderate Growth Rate: Reaches a manageable landscape size of 20-30 feet over many years.
