Olive & Palm Mountain

Trachycarpus Fortunie Palm Small

The Trachycarpus fortunei is arguably the most reliable and popular palm for the UK climate. This small-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)

60 x 50 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.
