Cycas balansae is native to southwestern China, southeastern Guangxi province and also just south, across the border in northern Vietnam. It grows in mountain rainforests. This relatively cold-tolerant cycad is named for Benedict Balansa, a French botanist. C. balansae has a subterranean, solitary trunk, 5-8 inches in diameter. It will carry from 5-10 leaves, generally, of which each leaf is 3.5 to 9 feet long. It has spiny petioles, and very thin yet wide leaflets. 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.
