Windmill Palm

The Windmill palm, also called the Chusan palm, is known for it's large rounded leaves above the slender stalk, giving the palm a windmill- like appearance. These palms can reach heights of 40 feet, although they are usually seen about 10-20 feet high as they are a slow growing variety. This palm is adorned with pretty yellow flowers, about 2-3 inches long, kept close to the trunk in a branching display. Only female palms will bear fruit. The trunk is slender, tapering down from the top.
