Trachycarpus fortunei 'Wagnerianus'

This palm is a new best seller in Europe. It is a small hardy palm with small and stiff fan leaves - only about 60 cm (24") across. It is not known in the wild, only in cultivation, because it is compact cultivar of Trachycarpus fortunei, selected in Japan for its beaurty. Its full name would be Trachycarpus fortunei cv. wagnerianus. Young plants are especially attractive because they have a cute rounded shape with a bonsai accent. Ideal for the smaller garden, and for container use.

Trachycarpus wagnerianus has a solid cold tolerance, down to -17. It can take snow and frost, surviving to -15 C or -25 C, depending on local climate, man-made protection, and luck.

Here we offer a tall adult specimen, with 175 cm of solid trunk, potted in robust plastic pots: 70 cm wide x 50 cm deep. This plant exceeds the size that we ship via mail. In this case delivery will be by private truck transporters. Please write an email to enquire about this species and we will discuss transportation. Transport for one or two will possibly be expensive. Larger orders are welcome!

We started these Trachycarpus wagnerianus from seed in 2007 and 2008 and they stood in the field for more than 10 years. They have been uprooted and potted in May 2019 and now they are looking very good, all rooted, with no setback of any kind. Many have flowered and some females are even setting fruits!

We have different sized Trachycarpus wagnerianus, of trunk heights between 80 and 175 cm, We also have a few double and triple groups.

Other large, field-grown palms available are: Trachycarpus latisectus, Trithrinax acanthocoma and Nannorrhops ritchieana.
