FULL SUN SPECIES – NEVER SUPER LARGE
FAIRLY COLD HARDY CYCAD
This surprisingly cold hardy Mexican cycad is known for its longer leaves. Compared to an ordinary Dioon edule, it has much longer leaves. These leaves have a somewhat yellow petiole and leaf color is green or blue-green. And, there’s an extra treat: new leaves flush an interesting pink-green color. This is a slow growing species. Trunks rarely get to two feet. They cluster freely. It is a sun species that is cold tolerant into the upper teens F. It tolerates heat and full hot sun. Unfortunately, we have no photo of a garden specimen.
