| Encephalartos aemulansEncephalartos aemulans is an extremely rare South African cycad whose habitat is limited to a single mountain in the Natal Province. Its name derives from the Latin meaning "equaling," because its pollen and seed cones look similar. These plants grow to 10 feet tall, with trunks up to 1½ feet in diameter -- with suckers growing from its from base. Mature leaves are dark green, glossy, and 3-6 feet in length. They thrive in subtropical and warm temperate regions, and tolerate light frosts. Like all cycads, they make great conservatory specimens. These are seed-grown 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.
