The 5 and a half feet tall Trachycarpus Fortunei in my front yard has sent up at least 20 new fronds this year and seems well prepared for the upcoming winter. The trunk has thickened considerably this year which should provide it with the needed protection from the cold. This palm has not been protected - not even heavily mulched - in 3 years. Prior to that, I did provide a plastic-sheeted covering around it to allow it to attain a good enough size to tolerate the zone 7 cold we get here.
