One of the coveted 'split leaf' Cycas species, this one from China. It basically has underground stems and long leaves, up to 12', shooting out of the ground. THe leaves are usually bipinnate and look similar to Cycas micholitzia, only much more profuse on the rachis. It is a highly ornamental cycad and my hopes are one day I will discover it CAN grow in my climate.. but not sure yet. Some populations are from relatively high altitudes and have a northern range that would approximate maybe what we have here in So California. Worth a try.

Regional...

Garden Grove, California
