This set includes the following seedlings: Macrozamia communis The "Burrawang Palm" from Australia, this is among the most cold-tolerant cycads. Its fine green leaves tend to emerge continuously throughout the year. Macrozamia riedlei Native to Australia, M. riedlei likes its summers hot and dry and its winters wet and cold. On mature plants, fine-textured leaflets form a deep V shape on gracefully arching leaves. It will tolerate frequent frosts. Macrozamia frasieri Native to Australia and named for colonial collector Charles Fraser, this plant has semi-glossy gray-green leaves. It is cold tolerant and prefers full sun. Macrozamia moorei A majestic specimen with long gray-green leaves and a large leaf spead, the silhouette of M. moorei is similar to that of a date palm. It prefers full sun or light shade and is cold tolerant. Macrozamia spiralis This small and rather pretty cycad has dark green leaves and is a rare plant to see in most collections. It's named for its unusual spiraling rachis, which gives a somewhat twisted appearance to the leaves. This plant is cold tolerant to several degrees below freezing. |
