Trachycarpus fortunei is a northern growing windmill palm. Despite reports of cold hardiness to Zone 5, I feel more comfortable giving it some protection in my Zone 6ish yard. You will need a simple frame, plastic wrap, twine, leaves, and another set of hands. So far, this method has worked for ten years.
Enjoyed the project?
