The most common species in cultivation is Trachycarpus fortunei (Chusan Palm or Windmill Palm), a temperate palm which is , in cultivated range, probably the northernmost palm species in the world, having been successfully grown in such cool and damp but relatively mild locales such as Scotland, southwestern Norway and the panhandle of Alaska. It is frequent in gardens in the British Isles, along the Atlantic coast of France and northern Spain, in southern Switzerland and northern Italy, and in the Pacific Northwest of North America.
