I was growing these as a great substitute for Sago palm in Florida landscapes as a design/build contractor.  Now that they are finally a beautiful size I am no longer in the design/build job and i would like to find homes for these. A couple have recently coned so they are very mature and about 12 years from seed. My folk have one in Panama City that was subjected to 17 degrees and didn’t defoliate.  They do not get Asian cycad scale either. They are perfect if you like the form and ZERO troubles. Great for containers too. 

I can bring some with me to Winter CFPACS meeting if i get some commitments, otherwise DM for pickup only in SE Hillsborough county.

$60 each this month only for members here.   Happy Holidays .  Sorry I don’t want to ship these but I’m open to delivery at a charge if that is best for you

I wish I was closer. That's a hell of a price and they're gorgeous.

What a steal. I'd have a hard time leaving with less than 5 or 6 of these. Florida people, do yourselves a favor and step up to the plate.

Those are really nice specimens! I agree, that is a total steal...I paid about $200 for a much inferior-looking mail-order plant from a Florida vendor recently and was quite disappointed. These, however, are quite beautiful and $60 is beyond inexpensive IMHO.

This is an amazing species in terms of cold-tolerance, and quite beautiful, to boot. I used to grow it in Natchez, Mississippi (chilly zone 9a) and even the long 2010 winter (3 days below freezing, lows of 18F), and a later jab to 13F in 2018, didn't defoliate it. However, it was very slow-growing there. It is also an excellent cycad out here in the low desert of California, where it remains one of the few that can be grown pretty much in full sun with beautiful appearance and with low care needs.
