Default Re: Hello from Milwaukee!

Trachycarpus fortunei, or Chinese Windmill Palm. I overwinter it by putting a box over it that is double layer poly with 1 1/2 inch foam on the outside. I then put a space heater inside set at 40 degrees F. It is probably overkill but I don't want to take any chances. Supposedly the palm is hardy to zone 7b or 5F.
