Grow a Hardy Palm in your garden
Trachycarpus Fortunei-

One of the most popular and suitable palms for the UK. The Chusan palm from China tolerates temperatures down to -12°C without problem, so hardy in the normal British winters even the cold spell we had in January 2010, so they should be looking equally good in summer or winter.

Trachycarpus fortunei should not be planted in very windy locations as the leaves can get to look untidy. Large green, fan leaves grow from a hairy, matted trunk that can grow between 10-30cm a year at maturity, although much slower when younger!
Fully grown height can be up to approx 4-5 metres over time

2 Litre pot size @ £9.50
