| Cycas revoluta "Showa" formClick here to view a larger photo of Cycas revoluta "Showa." The "Showa" cultivar is relatively unknown outside of Japan, where most temples and palaces in Japan use "Showa" plants in their landscape designs. Named "Sosetsu Showa," this form was first noticed during the "Meiji" Period (1868-1912), but was not planted in Japanese Temples and Palaces until the "Showa" Period (1926-1989), when the Japanese Emperor ordered that this Cycas cultivar be planted in all Palace Gardens and Temples. Currently, there are only limited sources of this seed in Japan, and fewer outside Japan. We secured a limited number of sprouted seeds several years ago, which have now grown to mature plants.
WHAT IS CAUDEX SIZE? You’ll notice we list and price cycads by caudex size. The caudex is a cycad’s woody, bulblike trunk, and caudex size is a good measure of cycad age. The chart below can give you a rough idea of how this translates to pot size.
