3ft Mexican Palm Tree that 'thrives in UK climates' now 50% off

When the sun is shining and the temperatures soar, lounging in the back garden can almost feel as good as being on holiday. However, there's one thing that separates British gardens from tropical retreats, and that's the types of plants surrounding the sun lounger.

Palm trees, however, can actually thrive in the British climate, meaning gardeners can add a tropical touch without worrying about the winter frost ruining all of their hard work. Now, shoppers can nab a 3-4ft Mexican Fan Palm Tree - Washingtonia Robusta for £19.99 at Wowcher, down from £32.98 - a hardy palm tree that can endure temperatures as low as -8C.

The pretty palm is perfect for gardens, patios or decking, bringing a vibrant and exotic vibe to the garden. Originating in Mexico, this specific type of palm is famous as the Hollywood palm in California - so shoppers really can give their garden the celebrity treatment.

If this palm isn't quite what shoppers are after, they could try a Trachycarpus fortunei Hardy Windmill Palm for £49.99 from Gardening Express. This variety is supposedly one of the best palms for the UK as they are tough, hardy and reliable, and the leaves grow up to 75cm long.

Alternatively, shoppers can get a pair of Phoenix canariensis Canary Island Date Palms for £44.98. Similarly hardy, these trees can cope with temperatures as low as -6C and add a dramatic look to UK gardens.
