The spectacular Chusan Palm is unmistakable – with its upright, shaggy trunk crowned with fans of large palmate leaves held on long stems. During summer, male clones produce masses of dense panicles of sulphur yellow flowers. Female flowers are a little less showy but are followed by attractive, blue-black, kidney shaped fruits.

Trachycarpus fortune is an exceptionally hardy palm that is perfect for UK climates, tolerating cool wet summers, cold winters and varying conditions from partial shade to full sun. It is also one of the easiest palms to grow from seed. The impressive architecture of this deservedly popular palm forms a truly eye-catching feature in a large container or in the border. Height: 3m (10ft). Spread: 2m (6.5ft).

Growing Information

Grow trachycarpus plants in any fertile, well drained soil in sun or semi-shade. Choose a position with shelter from strong winds.

Sowing Information

Sow seeds in spring after filing or nicking the hard seed coat to allow water to penetrate. Soak the seeds in warm water for 1-3 days, until they have swollen, changing the water each day. Sow into modules in good quality, gritty compost. Water and place in a plastic bag or propagator to retain humidity. Keep in a warm, light place between 15-20C. Seeds will germinate in around two months. Remove the seedlings from the bag/propagator once they have germinated. When larger, pot on into 9cm pots and allow to grow on before planting out in a well-drained, sheltered position in full sun or partial shade.

Live Plants

Suttons strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.

Non Standard Deliveries

Unfortunately like many companies in our industry we are currently only able to supply orders to UK based customers, excluding those in Northern Ireland. We are committed to finding a way that we can resume or normal services again as soon as possible. Please accept our apologies for any inconvience caused.

Prices include VAT where applicable.

We reserve the right to contact you and advise an additional charge where necessary and are happy to quote for carriage of specific products to more remote areas. Some items may not be available to all areas.

We reserve the right to revise any carriage charges in the event of carrier price increase or other unforeseen circumstances. We will always advise of the carriage charge before payment is taken.

All Suttons products should reach you in perfect condition, just as they left us. If you are dissatisfied in any way with their condition on arrival, please let us know within 14 days. We are only liable for the cost of the goods as quoted on the website plus the cost of delivery if the goods are faulty.

Unlike many companies, we publish all of our reviews - good or bad - to give you, the customer, total transparency and peace of mind.

Why Not Try This Instead

What our customers say

"Very impressed with the quality of leek and broad bean seeds you sent. Excellent germination and look forward to a bumper crop. Will certainly be back."

E. Smyth

“I bought all my seeds, potatoes, etc. from your catalogue last year for my new ‘larger’ vegetable garden. I have to say I have never had such success in the garden. The germination was excellent; the quality of plant stock and produce is superb."

Sadie

“I am compelled to write to you and your staff for the exemplary service provided by your company, in an age where the word and term ‘service’ has lost its meaning.”
