Description
First introduced to the UK in 1843 this palm tree has proven the most popular and reliable for the UK climate.
Today you can still find mature palms all over the UK that were planted during the Victorian planthunting era. This has proved to be Britains most hardy and best suited palm tree.
Hardy in most parts of the UK, it is an easy and trouble free plant, and should form the backbone of any tropical garden.
Best planted in the ground in a well drained spot , they are not fussy although will not appreciate poor drainage. Dig them into the ground with a mix of garden soil and organic matter , and make sure they are watered regularly during the first year. A common mistake is to not water them , they will need regular watering until the roots go down into the ground.
It is not recommended as a pot plant long term, they dont like long term pot culture without regular repots.
You should also avoid planting them in exposed locations as the wind leaves them looking tatty. Trachcyarpus wagnerianus would be a better option.
Once planted , 2 or 3 dressings a year with a good Slow Release palm fertiliser is all thats needed to keep them healthy.

We’ve had four orders now from Hardy palms inc Trachycarpus, ferns, Butia, Jubea, chamearops and yucca. All have been promptly delivered when they were promised, and all in excellent condition, and expertly packed whether on pallets or sent through Royal mail.
Having originally been recommended to buy from Hardy palms I would have no hesitation in recommending others to do the same.

We wanted to introduce some tropical flavour to our garden and found Hardy Palms on-line. We live in Berkshire and as their nursery in Bristol is a just an hour away, we visited the site a few weeks ago. We had a great tour of the site and an interesting chat with Colin. Three palms were purchased (including a magnificent Tracycarpus Fortunei – 1.1m trunk). All were carefully wrapped and loaded into our car (it was tight) and planted the very next day… they and look fantastic, healthy and very tropical. In short, we’re delighted.
