I have been given a Chusan palm, how hardy is it?

Our Advice:

The Chusan palm, Trachycarpus fortunei, can tolerate temperatures down to -15°C or below if they are growing in a sheltered position with good drainage. They need protection from strong or cold drying winds and will need protection from very hard winter frosts. The leaves may be damaged by high winds in cold, northerly, exposed sites.
