Description: Discovered and described as recently as the late nineties, this extraordinary cycad is only known from a single small area in western Guangxi, China, where it grows in mixed evergreen and deciduous forest on steep limestone slopes While its trunk is short and subterranean and only about 20 cm (8 in.) in diameter, its four to ten tripinnate leaves are probably the most fantastic among the cycads and readily distinguish it, and the similar Cycas multipinnata, within the entire genus. The leaves are deep green, glossy, and can reach an amazing 2.5 to 3 m (8 to 10 ft.) long. The 30 to 50 leaflets are around 55 cm (22 in.) long and branched into numerous "fingers," giving the leaf a very full and bushy appearance. This species is undoubtedly the most desirable in the genus. In cultivation it has proven to be quite easy and rather fast, producing a massive caudex within only a few years. It does well in all tropical and most subtropical climates that can provide warm summers and are not bothered by any more than light freezes in winter.Grown, packaged and shipped exclusively by Wekiva Foliage.
