Dwarf Chusan Palm

(Trachycarpus wagnerianus) - This fan palm is similar in appearance to the Windmill Palm, but its overall appearance is more dainty and many think it the best Trachycarpus for general cultivation. Trachycarpus wagnerianus has small (2 feet wide), stiff, deeply-cut dark green leaves that are rounded in outline and held on shorter petioles than T. fortunei, which gives the plant an overall more compact look. Plant in full sun to light shade in a well-drained soil. It is very hardy, tolerating temperatures to 1°F, and is tolerant of more wind and coastal conditions than T. fortunei. Makes for a very distinctive specimen in any setting! Zone: USDA: 9b-11 Frost Tolerance: to 20 °F (-1°C). Sun Exposure: Full sun or partial shade Origin: Japan
