Winter Hardy UK Palms Trees - Trachycarpus Fortunei 180/200cm Trunk: Also known as Chusan Plam or Chinese Windmill Palm. Palm trees are now classed as an almost essential for modern looking UK gardens, in years gone by keen gardeners used to have to keep there fingers crossed hoping that the winter would be kind to them, well with these Trachycarpus your worries are over! These palm trees will sit out all winter long and will cope with -15 without blinking, they will look just as good during the cold wet months when the rest of the garden is struggling as they do during the summer. They are happy planted virtually anywhere in the garden in moist well drained soil in full sun through to partial shade, exposed windy sites are best avoided, whilst wind does not actually damage the plant but it can shred the leaves making it look very untidy. When picking a planting spot keep in mind if these trees are happy they will grow 30cm plus a year and achieve a considerable size with a mature height of upto 12 metres with a 2.5 metre spread. They can be pot planted whilst it remains a manageable size but we would recommend ground planting as the plant matures.
What to expect: These are big heavy plants standing considerably in excess of 2m therefore they have to be delivered by ourselves. Please take a look Delivery & Returns tab for delivery information unfortunately we cannot deliver these plants nationwide.
Unfortunately the height of these plants makes it impossible for us to deliver them by courier and can only be delivered in one of our vehicles so we cannot deliver nationwide. As a rough guide we deliver to all destinations south of our nursery in the Cotswolds and upto approximately Manchester if heading north. The Website will not take your order if you are outside of one of our delivery postcodes, this will be confirmed in the checkout and basket area when postcode is entered.
We may be able to deliver outside of one of our areas but by arrangement only.
