I really would like a palm tree and the palm Trachycarpus Fortunii seems hardy and should survive here. I have approached a nursery here and will visit next weekend to maybe purchase one. They are very expensive so need to make sure I put it in the right place. I am a bit worried that where I want it will be too exposed but it would be where I would want a statement tree. I am trying to bring a bit of my Mediterranean garden in Spain to Dorset.
