Trachycarpus wagnerianus

Trachycarpus wagnerianus: Characteristics and Care

The Trachycarpus wagnerianus, popularly known as the dwarf windmill palm, is a more compact variety than Trachycarpus fortunei, characterized by smaller, stiffer leaves and better wind resistance, while maintaining the same great cold hardiness.

Its compact habit and wind resistance make it an ideal choice for small spaces and exposed areas.

It tolerates moderate drought well once established and is one of the most frost-resistant palms, adapting to various types of well-drained soil.

At Ornacom we cultivate each specimen directly, guaranteeing a balanced size and vigorous development from the first years of planting.
