Trachycarpus Wagnerianus

I picked up a 2-gallon Trachycarpus Wagnerianus from ebay from a guy in Georgia. It seems very difficult to find this plant in the United States...but they seem to be for sale all over the place in Europe.

I'm curious to see how it will do in a protected location at my home.

Inflorescences appear between the leaves. Flowers are small, dioecious and yellow. Fruits are not edible and are oblong in shape. They turn purple black when ripe.
