1 Gal. Windmill Cold Hardy Palm Tree (2-Pack)

Start with the hardiness zones on this page, and look up your zone by ZIP code. Windmill palm is one of the most cold-hardy palms with a trunk, and it handles temperatures down to 0°F. Zones are based on the average coldest night of the year, so an unusually cold winter can still do damage, and your yard may run warmer or colder than the map.

Windmill palm can reach 25 to 40 feet tall and grows fast, on a single trunk with a fan of leaves on top, so it takes little ground space. Golden Sword yucca's leaves reach 3 to 4 feet tall and spread about 5 feet wide, and it clumps over time.

No, once it's established. Golden Sword yucca has low water needs and does best in full sun. A new plant still needs regular water while its roots grow out into the ground.

It's the size of the nursery pot the plant ships in, not the plant's height. A 1-gallon plant ships in a 1-gallon pot. The plant itself varies by variety and by season.

A few days in a dark box is stressful for a leafy plant, and some yellow or dropped leaves are common. Water it if the soil is dry, give it a few days in bright shade, then move it into more sun over a week or two. New leaves usually follow. If it looks damaged or unhealthy beyond a few leaves, contact us that day with photos.

Plant when the ground isn't frozen, and not during a heat wave. Loosen any roots circling the root ball, and set the top of the root ball level with the ground or slightly above it. Water it in well.

Check the soil every few days for the first few months. A new plant's root ball dries out faster than the ground around it, so feel the soil at the root ball itself, not only the surface. Water when it's dry, and let it drain.
