Comments:
As with most cycads, this is an excellent sepecimen plant to feature in the garden in warm climates. It does not produce the number of fronds that the well known sago produces, but the foliage is quite elegant with up to eighty or more leaflets on each frond. Provide protection from freezing temperatures.
