Cold Hardy Palm Trees
Article written by Patrick A Malcolm.
The most cold hardy palm tree is the windmill palm tree, Trachycarpus fortunei, a palm tree that is found growing as far north as Canada. The Windmill Palm Tree, Trachycarpus fortunei, is a common landscape sight throughout Europe, the United States, and Canada. These Windmill palm trees are very cold hardy, and can be see flourishing along the city streets of Lake Lucerne, Switzerland, where the windmill palms grow up to 40ft in height. The slender trunks are covered with brown-black burlap-like fibers that look like hair, this hair insulates the palm tree trunk against the cold, and with aging, the fibers turn gray, and on large old trees the fibers fall off to reveal a slick palm trunk. The palm tree trunk is so well insulated that the center terminal stays alive through the winter. The Windmill's waxy leaves are bright green above and silver-green below. TyTy Nursery began selling windmill palm trees a decade ago as small trees and recently has been selling windmill trees up to 14 feet tall and successfully transports these large windmill palm trees by semi-trucks for planting in such northern cold states as Michigan, Illinois, Minnesota, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and many others. These large windmill palm trees appear to have survived temperatures of twenty degrees below zero, heavy snow, and ice storms.

Windmill Palm Trees of age one or two years old are not guaranteed to be replaced, because the trunk bark has not developed sufficiently to protect from tissue freezing. Very few trees offer a tropical look and cold hardy survival ability in Northern States and Canada like the Windmill Palm Tree. The Windmill Palm Tree ranks as the most popular cold hardy palm tree to buy, plant, and grow in the United States. Growing tall and gracefully, the Windmill Palm tree is perfect for planting and growing near the pool. The Windmill Palm is expensive to buy, and well worth the investment.
