Comments:
The coontie was once quite common in Florida and south Georgia but due to the destruction of habitat plants are not nearly as prevelant. This sago-like plant makes an excellent container plant for the garden. It can tolerate a rather wide range of growing conditions from nearly full sunlight to considerable shade and considerable cold, although the tops of the plant may be killed new growth can arise from a deep woody root system.
