Windmill palm (Trachycarpus fortunei)
Description
Trachycarpus 'Wagnerianus' is an easily identified cultivar, with small, stiff leaves (much unlike that of Trachycarpus fortunei). The leaves of younger are nearly circular, but those of older plants tend to be hemispherical. At all ages they are relatively small, from 50 to 70 cm (18 to 26 in) wide. and are borne on 60-to-90-centimeter-long (2 to 3 ft) petioles. The leaf crown is hemispherical and often extended, especially in younger individuals. New growth is margined with a short but dense white woolly tomentum. The palm's trunk grows to 9 m (30 ft) tall, or more sometimes, and is 20-25 cm (8-10 in) in diameter, when free of the leaf base fibers that tend to remain for a good while.
