Dioon spinulosum - Giant Mexican Cycad - 15- 25 cm plant

In nature, this extraordinary cycad from Veracruz and Oaxaca in southern Mexico can grow to 16 m (50 ft.) tall, making it one of the tallest cycads. In cultivation, it is easily germinated, easy to care for, and fast growing. It is an attractive species with a regular crown of long, shiny green leaves with wide segments. It provides a very exotic but nevertheless formal touch to any garden in a warm temperate or tropical climate, and also makes a perfect pot plant for the conservatory or terrace.
