Care Notes

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.

  • Situation Open Close

    This palm does best in dappled shade, but tolerates full sun and dense shade very well. Strong winds can damage the leaves, so plant in a sheltered site if possible.

    Good rich well drained soil is ideal; however it will also tolerate a heavier clay soil too.

    If possible water copiously through the summer, it will greatly benefit the plant, little if any water is needed in the winter.

    None to note, palms can suffer with Spider Mite, but those grown outside will be unaffected.
