Encephalartos ituriensis Plants

Encephalartos ituriensis is a large and tall growing cycad native to a remote region in northeastern Democratic Republic of Congo, near the western shores of Lake Albert. It is virtually impossible to access this habitat, due to the interminable rains, and the political instability of that country. These plants are the result of our seed-growing efforts of the past 5+ years.

Also known as the Ituri Rainforest Cycad, Encephalartos ituriensis grows leaves to 12 feet long, with a trunk reaching nearly 20 feet high over time. It is fast growing and responds well to regular water and sunlight.
