In today's video I look at why I believe Trachycarpus wagnerianus or 'Waggy' is the best cold-hardy, easy, tough and low maintenance palm choice to bring that evergreen exotic vibe to most UK tropical style, Mediterranean or even Japanese gardens. I look at my Jubaea chilensis and whilst it's certainly striking, it is slow growing, gets very large and demands a sunny, well drained spot for the best chance. Waggies on the other hand are very adaptable, relatively fast growing, compact plants that are wind resistant and ideal for a small garden or a larger garden in groups. It's an essential plant in my winter garden, bringing structure and evergreen interest and one that I believe deserves to be planted as an alternative to the standard Trachycarpus fortunei more! I cover UK palm care requirements -watering, feeding, positioning in a sunny vs. shady garden, preferred soil type and winter protection briefly but the good news is that Trachycarpus wagnerianus or Waggies are low maintenance and non-demanding plants that bring a tropical style and architectural impact to your garden all year round with no fuss.
