Wagner's Windmill Palm is known only in cultivation and apparently came from Japan. It is considered by some to be a variety of the common Windmill Palm (T. fortunei). It is about equally hardy and requires the same conditions. It is distinctive and distinguished by a stiffer appearance and smaller leaves. The Southeastern Palm Society's book Hardy Palms for the Southeast says: "The primary horticultural feature of Trachycarpus wagnerianus is its stiffness in all parts, giving the palm a refined, formal appearance. It also grows more slowly than Trachycarpus fortunei, so it can be planted in a confined space, where it will remain in scale for may years,"
