This palm has small 2 feet wide, stiff, deeply-cut dark green leaves that are
rounded in outline and held on shorter petioles than T. fortunei, which
gives the plant an overall more compact look. It is as
cold hardy as the popular T. fortunei ( –11 degrees), but far more wind
tolerant due to their shorter stiffer leaves, making them perfect for gardens
in exposed areas. They are incredibly beautiful: neat,
tidy, upright, and jaunty. It seems to be slower growing when young but picks up its growth after a few years and can double its size in a year if provided well drained soil with some fertilizer.
