Trachycarpus wagnerianus

Trachycarpus wagnerianus, or simply 'Waggy' is an extremely robust, hardy palm which is ideal for growing in the UK. This unusual variety of Trachycarpus is becoming increasingly popular, it is very slow growing but differs from T. fortunei as it has smaller, more rigid and slighlty darker leaves. It's silhouette is very architectural and has a more compact form of growth. The rigidity of the leaves help it to be more wind resistent than T. fortunei. Trachycarpus wagnerianus is very easy to grow, they prefer full sun or partial shade and moist, well-drained soil.
