This is the only cycad native to Madagascar. It produces a medium to large cycad and has a mature height of ten to twenty feet with a thick trunk. It can sucker. Leaves average six to seven feet and stems are armed. It tolerates coastal sun but wants filtered light or partial sun far inland. The 15g on sale are older, bigger plants. Stems are about 8 inches tall. Only a few are available. Of note, this species is in very short supply on the market.
