Windmill Palm Tree Care
View Full Planting & Care Instructions
Sunlight
Plant your Windmill Palm in an area that receives full-partial sun (4-6 hours of direct sunlight per day).
Watering
Water your Palm 2-3 times per week for the first month, then once a week for the remainder of the first year after planting. Keep the soil moist but well-drained, watering more in times of drought and less when there is rainfall.
Fertilizing
If necessary, apply a slow-release, palm specific fertilizer (granule form or spikes) in the spring, summer and fall.
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.

Palms
My European Palms are doing great, but not so for the Windmill Palm. The tree appeared to have been grown in a greenhouse so when I planted it, it went into shock from the outdoor elements. I called and they promptly issued me a credit! I did have to send a picture, but they were very responsive…Great customer service! I’ll order from them again.
Great!
Great! Beautiful tree! I love it! Thank you
Would buy again
So far our windmill palm has withstood drought, severe heat, intense cold weather, both wrapped and unwrapped during winter months. And still going strong. This is a quality buy!
Just Beautiful
Just received my windmill, palms a wonderful size. They're healthy. So far, i'm very happy with my plants, and we will see how well they do once I plant them in the ground.
