The unexpected joy of growing Windmill Palm

I planted Windmill Palm without expecting much and it's become one of the most satisfying things in my garden. long-lived structure that becomes more impressive over decades is something I couldn't have predicted from looking at it in a nursery. You only understand it once the plant is established and performing.

I keep it in a Mediterranean or exotic themed garden border which is perfect for it. planting in free-draining soil to prevent crown rot was the thing I got lucky getting right early. fastest growth during the warmest summer months stopped me in my tracks the first time I saw it. red palm weevil damage in warmer European regions is a real thing — just check regularly and deal with it quickly.
