The overall crown size is not large, typically with a spread of four feet. A plant with a caudex of 12 to 18 inches is a very old plant. Cold tolerance is definitely into the low 20’s F. and perhaps it’ll take into the upper teens F. It likes full, hot sun. This would be a good sun species of cycads for those who live in a colder climate. It is closely related to Dioon edule.

The plant on Special is in a 24 inch box and has a mature caudex 9 inches wide and 14 inches tall with a four inch pup. Estimated age is at least 25 years. It’ll not get much bigger after planting.
