With a height of 180-220 cm, this Trachycarpus fortunei already has a beautiful mature appearance without immediately taking up the space of a very large palm tree. The fibrous trunk and green fan-shaped leaves create a natural, tropical atmosphere. This makes this palm particularly suitable as a solitary eye-catcher in a Mediterranean garden, but it also looks beautiful along a garden path or at an entrance.

The Chinese fan palm grows best in a sunny to partially shaded location with well-drained, fertile soil. During warm and dry periods, provide sufficient water, especially when the palm is in a plant pot. In the ground, this hardy palm can develop further into an impressive tree with an increasingly tall trunk. Protect the roots during prolonged frost and prevent the soil from remaining constantly wet.

Every palm tree is unique. Minor changes due to natural growth or seasonal influences are possible.
