Sago Cycad, Revoluta X Taitungensis

Our most popular cycad. Prefers a well-drained sunny spot, very hardy. Great plant for a pot or as a stunning feature in your garden. Important to fertilise at least twice a year for best results. Sago palms are slow-growing plants, after several years they start producing a trunk and continue to grow upwards in size. A plant may only produce one flush of new leaves per year. Fronds are feather-shaped.

This adaptable cycad is often exposed to salt spray in its native area but grows more quickly in fertile, moisture-retentive soil and light shade. Tolerates cold for a limited time, but does best in temperate to warm-temperate regions.

It is used as a specimen in lawns, as a house or conservatory plant, or as indoor bonsai.

Origin – Asia (Southern Japan)

EL 300 and Inground

Varying heights approx 0.5 – 1.1m
