Its tolerance of cool summers and cold winters makes it highly valued by palm enthusiasts, landscape designers and gardeners. It is grown successfully in cool climates such as the UK, France, Belgium, The Netherlands, and southern Germany. In North America it can be found growing in the coastal areas of the Pacific Northwest and in the upper southern states and middle Atlantic states north to coastal New York. Normally, Trachycarpus does not grow well in very hot climates.
