WINDMILL PALM, CHUSAN PALM (TRACHYCARPUS FORTUNEI)
This most popular of the hardy palms has been cultivated in the West for a hundred and fifty years since the explorer and adventurer Robert Fortune first saw it growing (though not wild) on Chusan (now Zhoushan) Island off the east coast of China. Its hardiness against cold is legendary, as is its easy-care nature, and its wide availability means it is often the first hardy palm that many of us own. It is also probably the palm species best tested and documented for its frost resistance.
