Trachycarpus wagnerianus - 130 cm

Product Description

Trachycarpus is known for its snapped leaves and small bumps on the foliage. This is because these palms grow on the coast in Spain in the wind and snap their leaves for protection. With this precaution, the palm ensures that an entire stem does not break off with every gust of wind.

The Trachycarpus is a cool outdoor plant that originally grows at high altitudes in the Himalayan mountains. The Dutch nickname of the Trachycarpus is the Henneppalm or Handpalm and it belongs to the Aracaceae family. Trachycarpus is a well-known garden plant because of its beautiful fan-shaped leaves. It is a hardy palm that will survive our winters outside very well!
