In-Ground Cycads, 300 Patch
A growing area that began with 300 cycads

This is a portion of the 300 Patch cycads viewed from south to north.

 

Most of these cycads have reached reasonable size and are ready for sale.  These cycads are hardened against the sun and the cold; typically 85 degrees in the summer and 45 degrees in the winter, with very short periods of 102 degrees and 29 degrees, respectively. They can go into your ground immediately because they are vibrant and fully acclimated. These are truly "instant landscape" specimen cycads.

There are 25 of these beautiful Encephalartos aemulans, with caudexes ranging from 12-16 inches, 6 feet tall.

 

There is just one of these thick-leaved Encephalartos altensteinii leftwith a caudex of 15 inches, 6 feet tall.

 

The Encephalartos concinnus, just one left with a caudex of 14 inches, 6 feet tall.

 

A row of Encephalartos trispinosus, spineless.  All 14 plants have caudexes around 6-7 inches, 2 feet tall.  Exceedingly blue, same as the regular trispinosus except the leaves have virtually no barbs.  Reminiscent of the E. lehmanii.

 

There are 2 of these cup-shaped leafed Encephalartos turneri left with caudexes ranging from 11-13 inches, 5 feet tall.

 

There are 7 of these statuesque Encephalartos whitelockii, with caudexes ranging from 12-14 inches,6-8 feet tall.

 

Cycas panzihuanensis, about 4 feet tall, 12-14 inches, All of these have been dug and placed into 20 gallon containers.

 

Cycas thouarsii, 5 each, about 6 feet tall, with 6" to 8" caudexes with stem length 24 inches. These cycads have long, smooth leaves with no barbs over most of its length, perfect along a sidewalk or walkway where people may brush against it.  Placed in full sun, this cycad remains deep green.

 

A row of Dioon califanoi. All of these cycads have been dug and sold.  However, there are 8 Dioon califanois remaining in the Greenhouse bank, with caudexes around 7-10 inches, 2 feet tall.  This is the typical green-gray Dioon having the exceptionally distinct keel leaf (like the front bottom of a boat).  These are very slow-growing cycads, and if they were grown in a container that would have taken 20 years.
