The Best Cold Hardy Palm

Why Windmill Palm Trees?

Thanks to this fresh variety, the Palm isn't relegated to only tropical locales. Because the Windmill Palm is one of the most cold hardy palms available on the market today, it's a dream come true for those who want island-inspired good looks in colder climates.

Northern gardening climates, even in growing zone 7, are still able to grow this stunning island beauty. And not only is Windmill Palm cold tolerant, but it's also unbelievably low-maintenance and naturally pest resistant, too.

Plus, it's got the good looks to match its effortless ease. Magnificent in stature, the Windmill Palm has fresh, fan-like fronds that are arranged symmetrically in a bunched group. This forms a crown of stunning green foliage that grows atop the trunk and can grow 6 to 10 feet wide.

What is a Jumbo Windmill Palm Tree?

Jumbo trees are the most mature plants offered at Fast Growing Trees. Thanks to their well-developed root systems and large container size of 10-15 gallons, they deliver superior drought resistance, enhanced mineral absorption, and fuller growth. They're the perfect choice for an instant tropical feel and a more established look in your landscape.

Grown in limited quantities, Jumbos are a premium option for those looking to make an immediate impact in their yard.

Windmill Palm trees

They came in alive but they are very small!

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHello Raffaele, we’re sorry to hear the size of your plant didn’t meet your expectations, particularly when compared to the images on our site. We understand that might be concerning. However, your plant is set up for success and is right where it should be at this stage! As a nursery, we take special care of these young plants until they’re ready for their forever homes. We just ask for a bit of patience as your tree establishes its roots and begins to grow. It’s all part of the process!
