Trachycarpus fortunei

Windmill Palm, Chamaerops excelsa

These especially hardy Asian-looking fan palms have a crown of lacy leaves. Most grow slowly. The tallest reaches 30 feet. The trunks are covered with a black fiber at least at the top. All produce flowers followed by fruit. Water regularly.

Rich green, 3-foot-long leaves form a compact crown atop a trunk that thickens at the top. Fragrant, creamy yellow flowers appear in early summer. Heat tolerant, it will not endure prolonged freezing.
