Quickly becomes the center of attention
The Windmill Palm is the most cold tolerant of the tall palms. Our design consultant says these are the absolute prettiest cold climate palm trees.

Lovely fern-like fronds create a symmetrical canopy.
The head of the Windmill Palm Tree will mature at 8-10 feet wide that is held high above the ground. The tree will mature to 20-30 ft. in height over time.

For any homeowner in the North who dreams of a tropical pool setting, this tree is the answer. You can achieve good height for poolside plantings without creating too much shade. Nor will you have the mess of fallen leaves and twigs constantly cluttering the water.

David in NJ

I live in Pitman, New Jersey, about 18 miles southeast of Phila. I planted a 3 1/2 foot Windmill Palm Tree last May (2009). This winter it survived 3 record snowfalls of over 2 feet each, a few smaller snowstorms, and many weeks of sub-freezing temps. I did cover it before each big storm. Lowest temp was 9 degrees farenht. It's finally starting to warm up (March 2010) and there's only a little bit of burn on the lower fronds. This palm is obviously super hardy. I'm definitely planting more this year.

Bill in Ohio

I bought two windmill palm trees for my sister's birthday, here in Ohio. I lived in California 22 years and miss the palm trees. They arrived in good condition and seem to be doing well in her back yard near their home-made, large pond. The neighbors are anxious to see how they do through the winter. If they survive there will be palms all over Lima, Ohio.

Has anyone ever tried to grow a Chinese Windmill Palm near La Crosse, WI? I really mis HHI!!

Rosemary

We have just endured the longest, coldest January on record, temps for 14 consecutive days never climbed above freezing! The palms are all still going strong,, no spear pull, discoloration or any sign of stress.

Eric out of Philly

Have had a windmill palm for 7 years (20 miles west of Phila) and it has grown to about 4 feet from an 18 inch start. Lose some fronds every April, but new ones replace in July and August.

Juba in Kansas

I'm quite surprised, all of a sudden everybody has palm tree and I thought: What? In KANSAS? Its terribly cold here in the winter, sometimes down to -10 degrees and over near 110 in the summer! But they thrive...

Brian in TN

I live in Johnson City, Tn. I planted a yard full of these palm trees with various sizes and it gets cold here and they are doing great! I will be buying more or these. I have a lot around my pool and bar area and they look great.

Stan in Ohio

Steve in Kentucky

I've Planted Several Windmill Palms in my yard in Paducah Kentcky zone 6a or 7b depending on which map you use. The palms seem to do well. They've survived the ice storm two years ago as well as this past winter with 5 days of below freezing temps and a record low temp of -4. I also planted a sable Birmingham palm, 2 Jelly Palms, and several dwarf Palmetto and a few needle palms that have done remarkably well. This year I've planted two more larger Jelly palms as well as 2 silver european palms, coontie palms, a date palm, mexican fan palm, and 2 sago palms. Most of my palms I protect in the winter and spray with a copper based fungicide before I protect, in mid winter and in the march/April. I lost some leaves on my Jelly/Pindo palms this year but they're growing well now.

Julie in IL

My windmill palms arrived neatly package, no damage during shipping, excellent planting instructions, and palms are doing good.
