Cycads in Containers
This is our remaining inventory of CYCADS in containers. All are 15 to 25 years old, meticulously grown over the years. We collected plants as a hobby starting 1995. At the start of our licensed business January 2003, we began germinating seeds and growing hundreds of liners. Once they were 2-gallon size, 750 were planted in-the-ground in "patches" (tillable lots) throughout our property to receive the full arc of the warm Escondido sun. Watered well on a timed basis with our Irritrol system, they were given a perfect amount of 20-20-20 fertilizer with the Dosatron water-soluble injector. Drainage was excellent in our DG (decomposed granite) soil. Around 2018-2020 they were dug and placed into 15-to-20-gallon containers. These plants developed strong roots and robust, sun-hardened leaves enabling them to be placed directly in customer locations from the coast to 50 miles inland with no issues. Many of our customers have invited us to visit them after their purchase many years ago to show us how marvelous these plants have become. It is thrilling to know that we had a part in their garden of specimens.
With few exceptions (due to rarity) here are the discounts:
50% for GREEN cycads
30% for BLUE cycads
20% for LARGE/MATURE cycads (kept in the ground longer) that were recently dug

You have been searching high and low for a special cycad. Did you find it in the above list?
Go to the above right side to tabs, 'In-Ground Inventory' or 'Personal Collection'. Both options are presently in-the-ground but not to worry, they can be dug and made ready for you to keep in a container for many years or to be planted in your garden. Go there and look.
'In-Ground Inventory' tab; these are cycads that can be prepared for sale in one day. They are planted in plots where the soil is tillable and easy to dig.
'Personal Collection' tab; we collected these rare and special cycads for our personal enjoyment and to allow the buyer to see how they may look in their home setting. Most are approaching 25 years old, have grown large and must be sold.
Encephalartos aemulans
The aemulans in the photo below with 13” caudex was one that I picked out for my AZ customer. It had been growing in-the-ground since 2005 and was approaching 20 years old. After digging it and placing it into the Kubota loader, one of the leaf stems where it is attached to the caudex simply broke off, severing cleanly. Phooey. The stems of each leaf at the base were quite large, about 1” in diameter. Biggest cycad I’ve ever had.
So, it is missing one leaf, not a big deal. Then during placement into a 24” box (it went to the bottom), another leaf stem severed. It was getting ugly. It looked like all would be severed easily. Wow, I can’t let him haul this thing all the way to AZ and have the rest break off. So, I found a perfect 14” caudex aemulans with stems around 1/2” in diameter. You would be hard-pressed to pull one of these stems from its caudex; tough as nails He was delighted, saw my original choice and agreed to the 14” one. We’re both happy. Whew.
Louise and I placed this big guy in our Encephalartos container area. I decided to cut all the leaves away, which many times initiates/triggers growth of a new flush. After 2 weeks something new appeared, a 30” flush! See the photo below.
It was time for this cycad to discard those old leaves, that’s all I can say. It is beautiful now.
Encephalartos aemulans, in-ground to 24” wooden box, JUL2020. See story above. This was dug from the 300 Patch having thick, long leaves but those leaves began to sever right at the caudex interface. This photo doesn’t show the old leaves but shows the new flush after the old leaves were removed.
Encephalartos aemulans, 24” wooden box since JUL2020, now JUL2023. 13” caudex width, 63” tall, 48” wide.
Provenance: Acquired as a 3” x 3” x 9” liner from Bill McDaniels, Cycad Ranch, MAR2003. Planted as a 1 gallon into the 300 Patch OCT2005. Dug JUL2020. About 21 years old. A striking, elegant, specimen cycad.
Encephalartos turneri, 20 gal, 11", perfect dark green leaves, impressive conical caudex. This 20-year-old turneri is quite rare, especially for its size. See if you can find an 11” one with flawless leaves and caudex. It is unlikely any grower would let go 20 years of rare cycad care for our price. $159., discounted to $127.20/inch x 11” = $1399.20.
Provenance: Seeds obtained via Cycad Society Seedbank 2003 from Ian Turner, who discovered the E. turneri and the E. concinnus. Planted in full sun in the 300 Patch 2005, dug 2018 and placed into 20-gal containers.
Encephalartos lehmannii, 20 gal, 8", from Sparkman estate, flawless!
A good friend of mine and a very experienced cycad collector said that if a person has just become acquainted with cycads and is considering buying one, a very good one, what would he suggest? =>The renowned Encephalartos lehmannii. Why? It fits nicely in a small area for at least 15 years, then growing larger, is elegantly finished with leaflets that have smooth margins (no jagged edges), leaflets pleasingly shaped like a spear, with a small separation between leaflets (no overlap). A friendly cycad with sharp leaflet tips but has no prickles on the leaflet edges. It has the most glorious blue to blue-silver to silver color. The leaf (stalk) at its bottom as it attaches to the caudex forms a blonde/golden ring (see rings on photo below), quite distinctive. Most collectors claim it is bulletproof, handling temperatures as low as 20°F and easily handling full sun along western California (in desert areas provide some canopy). It is my favorite blue cycad!
Encephalartos gratus, 20-gal, 10.5" to 14".
This cycad's habitat is Central Africa. This geographical area near the equator has high humidity which effectively shelters plants from intense sun rays. This cycad is best grown here in southern California in dappled light, or high cover where tall trees create scanning patterns of sun rays with less intensity. It can be grown in a coastal location with good results but remember there are Santa Ana winds that can quickly change a moderate climate. An alternative is to plant this cycad on the east side of a home or a wall; the cycad receives warm sun in the morning but because the sun breaks over the roof or wall, there is bright light but no direct sun on this cycad. This cycad relies on pulling up moisture in a reasonable period of time from its ground location; we have found that this cycad doesn't always achieve that when placed in a container.
Note the gorgeous green color of these Encephalartos gratus leaves. You can achieve these results using the above methods.
Encephalartos ferox, 30-gallon, 13-inch caudex, 6.5 feet tall, 3 feet wide.
This one was SOLD but we have more.
Here is an excellent example of an Encephalartos that prefers dappled light, the Encephalartos ferox. Other Encephalartos having similar sunlight restrictions would be the hildebrandtii, laurentianus and villosus. Many 5 gallon E. ferox' are available.
The ferox can take an enormous amount of time to become tall like this example. Stick this cycad in a heavily shaded spot, like beneath an avocado tree and you will see little in 5 years, knee-high in 10 years and maybe waist high in 15 years. How do you speed this process up? Always plant in the ground for growth is 3 to 5 times that of cycads grown in containers.
- Plant in coastal sun with no overhead trees or shade. Unfortunately a Santa Ana may do damage.
- Plant in inland sun on the east side of a house or structure. When the sun breaks over this structure towards the west, the light level on the east side will lower and be satisfactory. Experiment with the ferox in a container for several months; water well to insure the plant can draw up water during this experiment. If this ferox does not yellow or turn lime-green, this is a satisfactory location.
- Plant in inland sun under 30% shade cloth. This material has to be special ordered and is ugly, not acceptable as a permanent solution.
- Plant in inland sun beneath Queen palms that are arranged with about 16 feet separation. The sunlight will shine through openings. As the earth turns this sunlight will "move" across the leaves and not burn. This is exactly what the ferox wants--a bite of sun but no more. Similarly, plant beneath Schizlobium parahybum trees spaced around 14 feet.
