Mission Statement


Our goal is to increase the worldwide population of endangered species plants, so they will be preserved for future generations. We will do this by:
  • Importing, propagating and growing endangered plants, pursuing Preservation through Propagation.
  • Teaching others how to grow and preserve endangered species in their own gardens..
  • Selling endangered plants at favorable prices to get as many of them as possible into gardens and landscapes, thus preserving the species.
Ultimately, we will have achieved a measure of success if in the coming years:
  1. There will be ample quantities of cycads of all sizes available to home gardeners at reasonable prices.
  2. Gardeners and landscapers will nurture and care for cycads knowing they are beautiful endangered relics from prehistory.
  3. Cycad habitats in the wild will become intriguing places to visit, examine and study, not harvesting grounds for poachers.

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.

Approximate
Caudex Size		 Container
Size
Up to 1 Inch 1-2 Gallon
1 Inch to 3 Inch 3-5 Gallon
3 Inches to 7 Inches 15 Gallon
7 Inches and Up 24 Inch Box
