Known as the Windmill Palm this best-selling palm will certainly brush away the holiday blues.An evergreen, with large fan-shaped leaves; widespread in the forests of Central and Southern China. In favourable conditions Trachycarpus can grow around 30cm a year, reaching a height and spread of up to 12m x 2.5m, though in the average UK garden they tend to reach a maximum of around 4m.
