ENCEPHALARTOS DYERIANUS SUPER RARE SOUTH AFRICAN CYCAD

This sought after and very rare blue to blue-green South African cycad is native to the Limpopo Province in northern RSA. There it is critically endangered with a few hundred plants remaining. It lives on granite mountain slopes at an elevation of about 2000 feet. It prefers full sun and is an average speed growing species. Mature size is over ten feet in habitat in centuries. Leaf color in full sun is typically blue. It is considered one of the more rare of the “Transvaal” South African cycads. Shown below is a citrus pot plant with a caudex of 1.5 inches. This size plant is about 4 years old. They were grown from domestic seed and pollinated by a very knowledgeable enthusiast. Most have two leaves. I’m showing five pictures of these plants we’re putting on sale as well as several specimens we have or have had at the nursery. Also shown are several garden specimens.
