Olive & Palm Mountain

Trachycarpus Fortunie Palm Medium

The Trachycarpus fortunei is arguably the most reliable and popular palm for the UK climate. This medium-sized specimen features a sturdy, fibrous-coated trunk and a magnificent crown of stiff, fan-shaped, dark green fronds. It brings an instant, exotic, and architectural feel to any garden without the high maintenance requirements of more tender palms. Its cold-hardy nature and upright, clean silhouette make it a favorite for contemporary and tropical-style planting schemes alike.

Size (H × W)

200 x 200 cm

Sunlight

Full Sun to Partial Shade. It is exceptionally adaptable. While it thrives in full sun, it also performs very well in partial or even dappled shade, making it a versatile choice for various spots in the garden.

Watering

Moderate. Keep the soil consistently moist during the active growing season. While it is more drought-tolerant than many other palms once established in the ground, specimens in containers should be watered regularly to ensure the fronds remain lush and vibrant.

Soil & Drainage

Requires fertile, well-drained soil. Like most palms, it dislikes waterlogged conditions. If planting in a container, use a high-quality loam-based compost mixed with grit to ensure the roots remain healthy and aerated.
