Trachycarpus comprises dioecious evergreen palms characterized by robust, single stems that support rounded, fan-shaped leaves divided into long segments. Female plants produce hanging clusters of small flowers, which are succeeded by round fruits.

Trachycarpus fortunei is a resilient evergreen palm that develops into a modest-sized tree. It features a robust trunk enveloped in fibers, topped with a cluster of fan-shaped leaves that can reach up to 1 meter across. In summer, it produces prominent arching clusters of small, pale yellow flowers. These are succeeded in autumn by small, kidney-shaped fruits that transition in color from yellow to blue-black.

Trachycarpus princeps is a fan palm characterized by its broad, evergreen leaves that can reach up to 60 cm in diameter. The undersides of the leaves are coated in a waxy, white texture and feature as many as 48 slender segments. The trunk is typically wrapped in a loose layer of fibrous remnants from old leaf bases, although these may eventually drop off. While flowering occurs infrequently, mature plants can produce sizable, branched clusters of small, yellow-brown flowers, which are later succeeded by small, yellow fruits.

This upright, evergreen palm can reach a height of up to 5 meters and features a robust trunk enveloped in a dense covering of pale fibers. Atop the trunk, a crown of green, fan-shaped leaves emerges, each composed of deeply divided leaflets measuring between 80 and 100 centimeters in length, which stand upright on petioles that range from 1 to 1.2 meters long. During the summer months, clusters of pale yellow blooms emerge. Resilient in the UK climate, this palm is a suitable choice for introducing a tropical ambience to your garden.

Trachycarpus takil Becc. is a fan palm characterized by its expansive, evergreen fronds that can reach up to 1 meter in diameter. The undersides of the leaves are silvery and each leaf is segmented into as many as 60 slender divisions. The trunk may display a loose, fibrous layer of old leaf bases, which can either remain or be shed over time. Mature individuals yield large clusters of small flowers in a yellow-brown hue, and female specimens subsequently bear black berries.

Trachycarpus wagnerianus is a hardy, slow-growing evergreen palm that develops into a compact tree.

Infrequently, it produces arching clusters of small, pale yellow flowers.
