The curved stem are the ones that grow in high elevation, mountain sides. It grows like that to ensure the roots establish themselves before growing tall. The most cold hardy are the ones that grow at higher altitudes. Good video.
Gerard Weir: Thanks for clearing that up! I have heard that a lot of people don’t buy the palms that have the curved stem but that’s always my first choice. 👍🏼
Nice to hear that you enjoyed the video.
They grow in southern Norway as well. Tons of palms here on the Pacific Coast of Canada. Great video. Cheers
@Palms I have seen some decent ones there over the years. I have a very good friend that lives in Norway. I actually ship a lot of my palm seeds there as well
I have 3 in my garden in Ireland. I also have Canary Date Palm and several Mediterranean fan palms. Amazingly the cooler and wetter locations the better they grow. One in dark damp corner with no real direct sun is the greenest and strongest and 33% bigger than the other two south facing. In Ireland they don’t need winter protection, but they need shelter and in the summer water. The main thing is shelter from winds and rich soil. Now this is not a desert plant. It loves humid damp and in my experience direct sunlight is not as important.
I'm sorry but your comment is already 3 years old, I have only just found this video. I am assuming you are in the Southern third of Ireland and not too far from the coast. Sounds like, as of 3 years ago, you've already had good success with several varieties of palms growing outside at your location. Might I also suggest BUTIA palms (there are several closely related, near identical varieties). Americans call them "Pindo" and some folks call them "Jelly" palms as the fruit, can be used to make what some call Jelly ie Jam. Another type worth trying is the Mexican Cotton Palm Washingtonia robusta, which is also reputed to take coastal salt wind exposure, dampness and some cold. Be aware the inland desert Californian Cotton Palm Washingtonia filifera can take colder freezes and frosts but only in desert dry air. Because they hybridise cross breed easily by accident, some mixed breed seedlings sprout into palms are known unofficially as Washingtonia "fili-busta". Various people in cold climates have had success with "filibusta" saying it seems to have the benefits of both types. Only needing to grow the "wood" for a thinner trunk, (between 1 and 2 feet diameter) means that Wash robusta grows trunk height maybe 5 times faster than Wash filifera (trunk 4 to 5 feet diameter). One useful thing is that both Butia, and also Washingtonia, are self fertile hermaphrodites, so you only need one tree of either, to get fertile flowers and your own good seeds. Trachycarpus and Phoenix palms are only a single sex palm, so you need both a male and female of the same related variety to get fertile seeds. Note that some Americans have also said that the "Golden Queen" sub variety of Syagrus romanzoffianum var "Littorale" Golden Queen, has far more cold and freezing tolerance than the normal variety. Syagrus romanz... is a close cousin to the Butia, it's also a self fertile palm, and can sometimes cross breed with Butia to give a result in between. Fruits of Butia and Syagrus are both edible. Butia will develop a fruit stalk while the palm is barely not even 1.5 metres tall and without any visible trunk formation yet. Whereas Syagrus won't flower until the tree is old enough to have 4 or more metres of trunk formed. If you have a location. that has very little freezing and white frost, but just loads and loads of cold, damp air and rain, then you could try New Zealand's one native palm (the "Nikau") BUT you MUST get the "Chatham Islands", (Pitt Island) sub-variety. Native to some windswept rocky islands 500 miles / 800 km East of the NZ mainland, (battered almost constantly by strong winds and drizzly rain under cloudy skies for most of the year) some palm enthusiasts in Auckland, Northern NZ, brought in a quantity of seeds from the islands some 30 plus years ago. In Auckland's mild subtropical climate some of those palms are now old enough to give fertile seeds. Palms grown from those seeds retain their extra tough island heritage. If you could get someone from Northern NZ to send you "Pitt Island" Nikau fresh seeds, that subvariety is far hardier than even the Southern most Nikau palms as from the mainland here in the South Island. I am at about 43 degrees South Latitude, but even though the mainland form of the NZ nikau is officially native to this area, several have died on me. However the Pitt/Chatham Islands form of the Nikau, from 44 degrees South Latitude is hardier in every way. I still have 10 of my original 10 seedlings, growing fine. Nikau is a hermaphrodite palm, but takes 25 years or more to flower, and some folks say, a trunk won't form for at least that long. While still being a slow growing palm, the Pitt Island Nikau grows faster, I have been told. Nikau has the most atractive and tropical looking feather shaped fronds of any temperate palm, with Syagrus and Butia close seconds. Washingtonia fronds are fan-palm shaped, similar to Trachycarpus palm, except Washingtonia frond stalks have sharp hook shaped spines.
@@KiwiCatherineJemma I’m going to reply when I get a chance. In the meantime many thanks for this excellent response. Thanks so much. I’ve actually just come in from day 5 of hacking away at bamboo
Nice video. I have a palm nursery and grow thousands of T.fortunei from seed every year. Cheers
How did you know I needed this kind of guidance. Out of curiosity I bought a windmill palm & here you are out of the blue giving me information, thank you!👊
Wow! One of the most informative videos on TH-cam I've seen about this particular palm tree answering a lot of my questions.. thanks so much from UK
Great video!
Here in North America, we sometimes have "sun rooms" attached to the home with minimal or no insulation at all.
growing up in one can be particularly brutal during the hot summer months without heat relief. whew.
I just purchased 2 windmill palms and the information in your video is great.
I plan on planting them at our home at the Jersey shore. It rarely gets below 32 for great lengths of time and the soil is basically sandy.
I will get some good potting/planting soil (any recommendation). I'm hoping that the advice from the grower and you are correct, and that it will survive the winters here.
Thanks in advance for any direction and advice.
Jack
Great video. Windmill Palms are great for pushing the tropical zone limits.
I just planted a windmill palm 🌴 very good video 📹
Tack för en riktig bra och informativ film
I am in zone 6a Pa USA, I have one in a pot in my greenhouse. I have seen videos where people will make a "shelter" and add heat to it and they can grow it in the ground in my zone 6a. Once mine gets big enough, too big to keep it potted in my greenhouse I will try to make a shelter like that with heat added. The heat added is C-9 lights or incandescent Christmas lights tied to a skeleton of fencing with a good cover added to it. I have seen that a person has grown one in a -20F (ultimate low) area, BUT, I do not know IF that -20F happens regularly. Now many of the videos about making the "shelters" for the Trachy has them NOT exposed to light, so, I am kinda wondering IF they do NEED light. Look up "growing palm trees in zone 6a" You should find the video about growing them in Avella, Pa. This is near me as far as the same hardiness zone, this guy has about 3 or 4 of them growing in his yard that he protects with these heated shelters.
Good plan. Make a nice shelter for it each winter and add heat for when it gets very cold and it will grow great for you.
Hi Julie I’m in PA as well and I’ve wintered my Windmills outside for years with a simple temporary greenhouse check it out. Very easy to do.

Love your work man!
Great video, very helpful, thank you. I am really impressed by your grass/turf, though. Could you please give me some information about it? Where did you get it from or in case you've grown it by yourselves, I would appreciate some tips on how you've managed to make it be so perfect? Thanks.
Great info!
Thanks for sharing!
Gonna try windmill have needle palm the hardiest takes frost and cold to zone 6. Hardy Banana just cover the cut stem with mulch or something I use pine needles. Cider eucalyptus grows great by the house gives it protection.
Trying a Washington cross supposed to be hardier to zone 6 . Frost cold below 0 f Once they are big enough put them outside for a try .
thanks for info i got one growing in england
i love palm trees.i even have yucca and washington in the house but they re really sensitive.most of the problems are too much water or too low humidity.
Nice grass
Thank you
I appreciate your video. You mentioned that the trees need to have a lot of sun. I stay in Washington state and our summers are about 2½ months long and the rest of the year it's cloudy and rainy. Would you recommed them being planted?
Nice video sir ji
For Palm trees, like Kentia, Areca etc , indoors, can you use Pumice ? or coco peat ?
Hi. I recently bought a Kentia palm and repotted it about 3 weeks ago at the same green house I bought it.
But one of the leaves has turned yellow.its not the oldest leaf either. What can be the reason. ?
The soil is rich and I gave it Humid Acid once when I repotted it.
I appreciate your comment as why one of the leaves turned yellow
Thanks🙏
No freeze weather there in South Florida since December, 2010 !! WOW !!!!
Stop bragging about your subtropical climate
Since the post I made 2 years ago, below this post, the 1 potted trachy I had back then had been cooked to death in my greenhouse. i now have installed an exhaust fan, and now it gets cooled off in my greenhouse. I know, I should have known to get the fan installed much sooner.
Anyway, I now have 2 potted baby Trachys in my GH about a foot tall or a bit taller. I want to try pumice mixed with palm and citrus potting soil, I liked your video about pumice. My climate won't allow me to grow my Trachy outside in winter, but will go outside in spring and summer into early fall.
Sorry If I asked this already, but, do you bring yours in the greenhouse you have in the background?
Or perhaps in your home? We do get some decent heat and sun here in Pa, but I personally would love to summer over in Sweden I am always HOT.
Okay, so when using pumice, putting nutrients in the water, and water it in is best.
My greenhouse is heated to above freezing, so O C and 32 F. Believe me, IF I won a bunch of money, I would build a conservatory onto my house. Okay, so you put those palms in a conservatory?
You are lucky to have one. I would still use my greenhouse, but, I would go crazy with houseplants if I had a conservatory. I do water my baby trachys about every 2 weeks now because even now in winter, when the sun comes out, it can get into the high 80's and low 90'sf sometimes, the exhaust fan does keep it under 100F or HIGH 90's F (close to the 38 C mark) BUT, it still does get hot and I worry about anything in there drying up.
Maybe me keeping my Trachys in my greenhouse, they can take more outside sun than other palms stored over winter in more low light places? Anyway, great video.
Hi. My trachy has got some black developing on the tips of the leaves - do you know why? Thinking maybe after I put fertiliser in and it rains shortly after, so perhaps the fertiliser has burnt to quickly through the plant? Got in just a month or two ago. In a pot in a mostly sunny spot. Water everyday in hot weather.
I am probably behind in pointing this out, but you should be using the word 'insulation' and not 'isolation'. There is a subtle but important difference. To isolate a plant is to separate a plant from other plants, whereas to protect a plant or humans from the temperature, we insulate. Love your videos. Keith in Yorkshire England.
Har en planterad i zon 3, kan den överleva med vinterskydd?
A very informative video here, thank you. You kept using the word "Isolation" did you mean insulation or do these palms need Isolation from other plant's? I'm sorry I'm a bit confused here 🙂
When they get to big how do you re soil them and if u plant them in the ground how do u keep the soil fresh for the plant
What type of feed do you put in the water?
hey mate im a fan of ur channel...where do u purchase ur european winter hardy palms? can.u give me any links
Hey my palmmix from ikea has roots growing out of the top of the soil….I just purchased it. What should I do
Do coconut palms survive in the winter
Will these grow in Oklahoma? I live in 7a climate zone. I recently planted one.
Do you have draining holes in those pots or is it fine to not have them with pumice?
you can plant one if you protect it during winter from the cold
Can you use Pomice for palms in the ground, if your climate is ok? Like canary islands etc ?
Dear sir thank you for this video quite interesting I am trying to still replant my two Windmill palmas
fairly large and the girth being about 10 to 12 inches in diameter. I have two 80L pots which I have insulated I was thinking of using pummis in the lower section followed by worm cast and Johnny missed number three would that be permissible what do you think of this thank you for your time.
If we are to plant this into the ground how much do you recommend us watering it? Every week, every 2 weeks, or every month. Or is rain enough to make it survive?
I wish they would answer some of the comments and not just heart them.
When I plant my windmill Palm in a container do I need to use all pumice rock or some pumice rock and dirt
Anyway I can get help with mine?
Hey,
Can you do a video on the Chinese Fan or Lady palm plant. I dont know the scientific name. But its in the palm family, slightly different from the one shown above.
Thx in advance.
seems as if my windmill isnt wuite dead. but they shoots are not extending out of the trunk they just start opening when they are halfway out.. I'm in maryland. not the most tropical climate but it gets plenty of sun.. any advice?
Insulation, not isolation. :)
I have 2 palms. One has a large trunk and the other has a much smaller trunk. Will the palm with a smaller trunk grow at the same rate as the larger one?
Just potted my Palm and the leaves have turned brown! 😖😩 I know the old leaves die out but I’m worried something is wrong and I can’t figure out what. It had a draining pot and using cacti/palm soil that has been moist since potting it. It gets a morning sun until 11 and then it’s in shade all day. I don’t think it’s burnt but I’m worried about root rot. 😩😩 help!
How do you grow them so big in such small pots?
Can I grow windmill palms here in zone 6?
Hi, i have two chamaerops humilis palms, i wonder about some dark spots on my palm leaves, if its some fungus or if there is some insects that can cause this, also what kind of treatments can i give the palms
Living in Oregon, USA, I've never seen an insulated pot.
Hej!
Jag funderar på om det skulle gå att ha en liten sådan palm på balkongen (i Malmö) och sedan ta in den och ha inomhus under vintern?
Hi Sir, I want to put my baby windmill palm into the soil in my backyard which faces to the west, a lot of strong sun light in summer time. Do you think it can survive? I am in Vancouver, Canada, and so the winter temperature is below 0 for a month during night time. Do you think it can survive? Thanks for your time.
Thank you.
How cold are the winters in Sweden?
In Canary islands there is plenty of picon, is this black stuff, simular to pomice ?
I am glad that the Swedish Company got the 5G contract.
I HAVE HAVE RED CLAY, I NEED TO REPLACE IT AND PUT SOME GOOD SOIL IN HOLE WHAT WOULD YOU RECOMIND?
Mulch it, fertilize it, mushroom compost & water it
Would it survive down to -10 even -15F like here in southwest Ohio? Not sure how that compares to Sweden winters I want some tall windmills all around my house. Some claim they can survive those temps just by covering trunk and mulching but others think its impossible.
Kevin Kleiner My grandpa grew some palm trees up in Michigan outside his house and wrapped the trunks in Christmas Lights and Burlap all the way up to below the leaves and then he wrapped the leaves in clear plastic so they could still get sunlight
@@brendanearly6481 thank you!
For future reference plant pots or conservatorys need to be insulated...Not isolated. 😉
The gay gardener Cheshire uk Thanks! My english is not perfect. 😅 In Swedish it’s the same but I do know the difference. 😂 I hope you enjoyed the video. Don’t forget to subscribe!
Swedish Plantguys .Hi there again I'm a bit of a palmaholic having 45 assorted palms in the garden or my conservatory. Ranging from trachycarpus. Nanus, martianus.nova ,
Oryophilis, Manipur ect plus chamherops, Butia, jubeha, sables, and washingtonia ect ECT. We are having a cold snap here In Britain at the moment . Had -3 over night . Warm by your standards I imagine. I'm in the north west of England so we are protected from the worst of the weather having the Welsh mountains and the Irish sea talking the worst of the prevailing snow ect. It must be challenging in Sweden to achieve a semi tropical effect.
One Trachycarpus fortunei has survived -27 degrees F. That is lowest recorded.
Hi! I have quite a tall windmill palm growing in my newly-acquired garden in the UK. When is it best to cut the dying/discolored fronds off? Thank you
When they're browned
Quick question did you mean insulated not isolated?
I'm guessing you meant insulation not isolation?
Står ju överallt att de ska klara temperaturer på ner mot -18C?
Why is my 3 year old windmill palm loose in ground? Leaves are green, watered and fertilized.
How old were these two plants at the time of video?
Op?
it can stand -10 C with no problem
It can stand -20C
I don't understand what you mean by isolated. I would think it means kept away from other plans but doesn't seem that that's the context you're using it in
Will this Survive the cold Winter in Longisland NY?
Yessir
I live on Long Island and bring them into my garage however I am sure if you mulch them and I bought a heating cable from ocean state job lot and loosely wrap around the truck and ground it will survive. BTW I bought my 5 at Lowe’s 7 years ago and they are great though Lowe’s no longer sells them here
R Brooks Yea Windmills are tough Tropicals. As long as the trunks are protected you should be fine. I put up inexpensive temporary greenhouses during the winter to be safe. Check it out... th-cam.com/video/-yhj8nLePcY/w-d-xo.html
@@northeasthardytropicals541 Thanks for the respone :)
Insulated not isolated. :)
