The Windmill is a good palm for shady areas here in SA but won't do well in direct sunlight when temperatures are in the 90s and 100s . Best palm for SA is Sabal Mexicana, Sabal Palmetto, California fan palm ( washingtonia filifera) , cal mex ( washingtonia filibusta) , pindo ( butia capitata) definitely European fan palm , Mexican fan palm are okay I actually have one in the yard but don't do well like we've seen it in Feb 2021 . Lots of washingtonia robustas died and the ones survived where either hybrids or just lucky. But that winter storm was very different from all other storms so we should be good for the next 50 to 100 years. Mule palms should be good too with occasional protection.
@@texastravelers210 I have seven windmill palms growing in my landscape (full sun) all day and no issues with the heat here in Schertz, Tx. My previous comments were regarding the cold hardiness list.
@frankwright8184 I didn't say they don't grow here but they prefer colder regions to actually look really nice. Trachycarpus Fortunei (Windmill) grow best when they get a chance to cool down at night with low humidity. Our climate here in San Antonio isn't ideal that's why I haven't seen a Trachy with a beautiful full crown here yet and they can get quite large. Anyway this is the most cold hardiest palm you get buy then I would go with Sabal Minor or Needle Palms . For our cold hardiness zone 8b/9a for SA check out the list in my last comment. The problem isn't the overall climate here it's the occasional cold fronds that kills more exotic palms. Oh I forgot to add Canary Island Date Palms but here's the thing they aren't leaf hardy at all.
Красиви палми, красив град! Благодаря. 🌹
Beautiful 🥰❤️
In the summer we get to see the beauty of our palms again. Unfortunately last artic winter made a lot of palms look ugly ❤️
The Windmill Palm should be on the first list and at the top of that list along with the European Fan Plam.
