Synonyms, common name of Trachycarpus wagnerianus

Palm tree windmill dwarf, Miniature Chusan palm.

Origin of Trachycarpus wagnerianus

It is not known in the wild, but it grows in Japan, which is considered its home country. It may be a variant of the Trachycarpus fortunei.

Hardiness of Trachycarpus wagnerianus

Very hardy (-17 to -18ºC, 1°F); it adapts to all climates, from cold temperate to dry subtropical.

Description of Trachycarpus wagnerianus

It has a very beautiful appearance from a very young age, with leaves much more rigid, more compact and smaller than those of the Trachycarpus fortunei (not more than 60 cm in diameter), which gives an astonishing aspect of bonsai. Growing slowly for 4 to 5 years, it can grow much faster in the ground, reaching 3 to 4 meters in height.

How to grow Trachycarpus wagnerianus

It is undoubtedly one of the palm trees with the best qualities. It is the perfect choice for coastal exhibitions (high tolerance to wind and spray). It is also ideal for small gardens or pot culture. Drought resistant, the Trachycarpus wagnerianus is adapted to the Mediterranean regions. Finally, it is known for its good resistance to diseases and its ability to be transplanted without difficulty.

Story time

Trachycarpus wagnerianus is still very rare despite of its many qualities : its seeds were not available in large quantities recently.
