The Trachycarpus Fortunei is a hardy outdoor palm with large, fan-shaped green leaves and a sturdy trunk covered in natural fibres. That fibrous texture gives the plant a robust, distinctive character that holds up well at close range. The combination of tropical foliage and a solid structure makes it a natural focal point in any planting scheme.
It suits gardens, terraces, inner courtyards and entrances to hotels, offices or care facilities. The palm does well in both sunny and partially shaded outdoor positions. Indoors, a bright spot with indirect sunlight works best, such as an atrium or spacious reception area.
Water requirements are moderate: water regularly and allow the top layer of soil to dry out between waterings. This page offers five size combinations, with heights ranging from 100 to 270 cm and pot diameters from Ø21 to Ø40 cm, so you can match the scale of the plant to the space or project. Plants are packed in a purpose-built box with a protective cover and secured for transit.
Is this palm suitable for outdoor use only, or can it be used indoors as well? It works in both settings. Outdoors it does well in a sunny or partially shaded position. Indoors it needs a bright spot with indirect sunlight, such as an atrium or a spacious entrance hall.
How much maintenance does the Trachycarpus require in a project? Maintenance is straightforward: water regularly and allow the top layer of soil to dry out between waterings. No specialist care is specified, which makes it practical for projects involving multiple plants across different locations.
How do I choose the right size for a space or project? The range runs from 100 to 270 cm in height, with pot diameters from Ø21 to Ø40 cm. Select based on the available ceiling height and the overall scale of the space. For outdoor settings, the surrounding planting can also inform the choice.
Can I order multiple units for a single project? Yes, ordering per unit or in larger quantities is possible. The order is dispatched as a whole, so all plants for a project arrive together.
How are the plants packed and what is the lead time? Plants are shipped in a sturdy box designed specifically for plants. A protective cover safeguards the foliage and soil, and the plant is secured inside for transit. The lead time is five working days.
