DIOON CALIFANOI MEDIUM SIZED MEXICAN CYCAD

KEELED, ARCHING LEAVES

There is some type of seductive quality to this rare species of Dioon. I think it’s because of the compact, rigid, keeled and curved leaves. At times they are a bit bizarre appearing – but very appealing. This is a species that takes on the mature appearance over time. As a young plant you might think it’s a “ho-hummer”. But, as it ages, it develops its traditional appearance and gets more attractive. Leaves are four to five feet long. In a domestic situation, a plant with a three foot trunk would be enormous. It takes full sun and is cold hardy into the low 20’s F. The ten year old plant below is in a 15 gallon pot with a caudex of 3.5 inches.
