This palm makes a wonderful gift and is very cold hardy!

The Windmill Palm is one of the most cold hardy palms available. It is beautifully compact and grows to heights of 20-40 ft. The erect, single trunk of Windmill Palm is covered with dense, brown, hairlike fibers, and the three-foot-wide, fan-shaped fronds extend from 1.5-foot-long, rough-edged petioles. The trunk appears to be wrapped in burlap. There are fine examples of mass plantings where palms are spaced six to 10 feet apart around a patio or sitting area. They have also been used very successfully lining an entry walk to a large building. This adds a formal elegance to any structure, especially one with a glass facade.

This is a beautifull small tree, great for a small garden and fully hardy. What a treat for that someone special in your life!

Four inch wide pendulous clusters of pale pink flowers appear in May and are followed in autumn by drooping bunches of large gleaming white or pink-tinged marble-like fruits which persist well after the leaves have fallen.

The flowers are attractive to insects but birds leave the berries alone which gives a longer display. Likes full sun to dappled shade and is tolerant of most soils.
