This species of green South African cycad is a medium sized mature plant with trunks up to about five feet. They are un-branched and have green leaves that are about five feet long. The leaves are straight and leaflets point toward the end of the leaf. In the wild stands in the Natal area of RSA, there are only about a hundred plants remaining. Shown here in the first two rows of photos is our 5 gallon size we’re putting on Special. These plants have caudexes of 2 to 3 inches. The third row of photos show a huge boxed specimen at our nursery. The last row shows domestic plants and a close up of the leaflets. This size can be mail ordered. In our area, this is a full sun plant with a cold hardiness into the low 20’s F.
