The diameter of the trunk is up to 15-30 cm (6-12 in). The flowers are yellow (male) and greenish (female), about 2-4 mm (3/32-5/32 in) across, borne in large branched panicles up to 1 m (3 ft 3 in) long in spring; it is dioecious, with male and female flowers produced on separate trees.
This plant has been cultivated in China and Japan for thousands of years. In North America, mature specimens can be found growing in the coastal areas of the Pacific Northwest, the upper southern states, and Mid-Atlantic states. Trachycarpus fortunei is cultivated as a trunking palm in gardens and parks throughout the world in warm temperate and subtropical climates. Its tolerance of cool summers and cold winters makes it highly valued by palm enthusiasts, landscape designers and gardeners.

Commonly lower tolerance limits of -15 to -20 C (5 to -4 F) are cited for mature plants. Young plants are less hardy, and can be damaged by only -8 C (18 F). Hardy zones 6-10!
