Cycas guizhouensis

This rare smaller cycas is native to China’s Guizhou province - with the Latin termination -ensis - implying its place of origin. It grows in limestone and gravel soil on steep slopes and high bluffs in elevations greater than 1,300 ft above sea level. It has narrow - twisted leaflets and a relatively small stature - producing large cones.

C. guizhouensis is a fast-growing species which withstands cold well - but needs to be protected from frosts - and will grow well in temperate and subtropical climates.

These seedlings are from domestically acquired seed. Plants will be delivered bare root - with instructions for re-establishing them into healthy specimens.
