Encephalartos heenanii 5" caudex

[yachtingone]

E. heenanii is a distinctive beautiful rare cycad. Loran Whitelock has an image of this cycad on the cover of his book "The Cycads" !

Very few cycads are more sought after than E. heenanii. Seed production is sporadic because they cone infrequently.

It looks like the long leaf Heenanii form. Is it the long leaf form, or the short leaf form?

Randy is right. There's hardly a cycad that is more coveted and rarely available. And, they are never cheap. I thought I'd show a picture of one we had a ways back so people can easily see what a more mature one looks like. Note the "basket shape" to the crown of leaves, a hallmark of heenani. Randy is lucky to have this for sale, so jump on it if you have the resources.

This pic was taken sept. 2009 with a better flush.

Last bummer summer alot of Encephalartos had bad flushes from the cold summer we had.

This cycad was imported from Africa by the Steinburgs a few years ago.

Thanks for looking

Randy
