NEW PRIVATE CYCAD COLLECTION

SOME EXCITING SPECIES SHOWN BELOW

THE "CP COLLECTION"
ARRIVED SEPTEMBER 15, 2016

FROM ORANGE COUNTY, CA SMALLER COLLECTION
ALL OUTDOOR GROWN IN CONTAINERS

ALL FOR SALE

Description of This Presentation
Below are photos of about thirty cycads from a cycad enthusiast in the Laguna Hills area of Southern California. This owner has developed health issues and was forced to sell his collection of rare cycads. The majority of the plants in this collection are Encephalartos, but there are some plants of two of genera. About two thirds of the plants were container grown over the past few decades. A smaller number were dug and then potted into plastic containers. All were grown outdoors in some amount of direct sun. The seller obtained his plants from several cycad nurseries in Southern CA including Jungle Music. On some of the plants the original labels had been lost. We have attempted to accurately name all plants below as best as we can. We hope that you enjoy this presentation.

Species name, container size, caudex size, brief comments, plant number and price

CERATOZAMIA

CERATOZAMIA SPECIES CONTAINER SIZE: 5 gallon CAUDEX SIZE: 4.5 inches PRESENCE OF OFFSETS/PUPS: PLANT NUMBER: 1 RARITY: Rare COMMENTS: This plant is a Ceratozamia but I am not sure of the species name. It has crown or two sets of leaves and will eventually fork into two trunks. The leaves are very short and the leaflets are packed tightly onto the leaf. They are also very narrow. It was grown in a few hours of sun. It may end up being a dwarf species of some sort. At this point, we cannot call it C. kuesteriana. I do not know emerging leaf color. But, it is possible this could be a super rare un-described species. Regular Price: $225 This plant has sold

CYCAS

CYCAS CAIRSINANA CONTAINER SIZE: 5 gallon CAUDEX SIZE: 3 x 4 inches PRESENCE OF OFFSETS/PUPS: PLANT NUMBER: 2 RARITY: Extremely rare and hard to find COMMENTS: This seldom seen species is native to PNG and some surrounding areas. It gets to no more than 12 to 15 feet with a rather thin trunk. This is the first of this species we've ever offered for sale. This blue Australian cycad is almost impossible to find. It likes heat, low humidity, sun and not to freeze. Thus, ideally, it wants "dry heat". It is one of the few blue Cycas that can survive in this area. Regular Price $900 This plant has sold

CYCAS DEBAOENIS CONTAINER SIZE: 15 gallon CAUDEX SIZE: 7.5 PRESENCE OF OFFSETS/PUPS: PLANT NUMBER: 3 RARITY: Extremely rare and hard to find, especially with any size COMMENTS: This seldom seen species is native to PNG and some surrounding areas. It gets to no more than 12 to 15 feet with a rather thin trunk. This is the first of this species we've ever offered for sale. This blue Australian cycad is almost impossible to find. It likes heat, low humidity, sun and not to freeze. Thus, ideally, it wants "dry heat". It is one of the few blue Cycas that can survive in this area. Regular Price $1200 This plant has sold

CYCAS REVOLUTA CONTAINER SIZE: 5 gallon CAUDEX SIZE: 3.5 PRESENCE OF OFFSETS/PUPS: 1 PLANT NUMBER: 4 RARITY: As a cycad, quite common COMMENTS: This Sago Palm tolerates full sun along the coast but also can take filtered light. It is cold hardy into the upper teens F. Regular Price $50

CYCAS REVOLUTA CONTAINER SIZE: 15 gallon CAUDEX SIZE: 7.5 x 14 inches PRESENCE OF OFFSETS/PUPS: PLANT NUMBER: 5 RARITY: As a cycad, quite common COMMENTS: This Sago Palm tolerates full sun along the coast but also can take filtered light. It is cold hardy into the upper teens F. Regular Price $185

CYCAS REVOLUTA CONTAINER SIZE: 15 gallon CAUDEX SIZE: 8 x 15 inches PRESENCE OF OFFSETS/PUPS: PLANT NUMBER: 6 RARITY: As a cycad, quite common COMMENTS: This Sago Palm tolerates full sun along the coast but also can take filtered light. It is cold hardy into the upper teens F. This particular plant shows signs of stress, probably from under-watering. It should bounce back with a new throw of leaves in no time with good care. Regular Price $200

CYCAS REVOLUTA CONTAINER SIZE: 15 gallon CAUDEX SIZE: 8.5 x 15.5 inches PRESENCE OF OFFSETS/PUPS: PLANT NUMBER: 7 RARITY: As a cycad, quite common COMMENTS: This Sago Palm tolerates full sun along the coast but also can take filtered light.

Regular Price $200

DIOON

*DIOON MEROLAE* CONTAINER SIZE: 15g CAUDEX SIZE: 9 x 10 inches PRESENCE OF OFFSETS/PUPS: PLANT NUMBER: 8 RARITY: very rare COMMENTS: Native to Chiapas and Oaxaca, Mexico, this super attractive cycad is slow growing. Domestically, it's rare to see old specimens with more than three feet of trunk. In the wild century old plants have trunks over ten feet tall. The leaves are short, three to four feet and an interesting gray-green in color. Leaflets are armed. This is one of my favorite Dioons. They take coastal sun but need some protection far inland. The cycad shown here has an age of an estimated 15 years. It's super ready for the ground. Regular Price: $1225

DIOON QUERETERO A TYPE OF DIOON EDULE CONTAINER SIZE: 15 gallon CAUDEX SIZE: 6.5 inches PRESENCE OF OFFSETS/PUPS: PLANT NUMBER: 9 RARITY: very rare COMMENTS: This interesting and sought after Dioon is popular because of it's blue color in sun. I mean, strikingly blue! Check out these photos. Although we didn't have a tag on this plant, from it's leaflet characteristics, overall appearance and prominent blue color, we feel it is a Dioon edule variety queretaro. It wants sun in most areas and is cold hardy into the upper teens F. It is native to the region of Queretaro, Mexico, and is highly recommended. Regular Price: $625


*DIOON SPINULOSUM* CONTAINER SIZE: 24 inch box CAUDEX SIZE: 10.5 x 21 inches PRESENCE OF OFFSETS/PUPS: PLANT NUMBER: 10 RARITY: rare COMMENTS: Dioon spinulosum is very tropical and exotic appearing. And, it can get tall over the centuries. In the wild it's been noted to have trunks over 40 feet tall. Leaf color in filtered light can be a dark green whereas sun will make it more lime green. Leaflets are armed somewhat. The trunk is narrow. I'm showing you here a plant that is probably 25 years old with nearly two feet of trunk. This takes ages to get this tall! It was dug but should do great with the dig. Cold tolerance is into the low 20's F. We have regular nursery stock of much younger plants. This plant is a true botanical specimen for an upscale yard. Anyone would love it in their garden. Regular Price $1650

ENCEPHALARTOS

*ENCEPHALARTOS ALATENSTEINII* CONTAINER SIZE: 24 inch box CAUDEX SIZE: 12 x almost 16 inches trunk height PRESENCE OF OFFSETS/PUPS: PLANT NUMBER: 11 RARITY: Very rare COMMENTS: This green cycad forms a fairly large mature plant and its leaves are green in color. You can spot this species because the base of the stems have no spines or prickles. This is a very old specimen with 15.5 inches of trunk and a huge crown of leaves. It wants full sun along the coast and is cold hardy to the low 20's F. This was one of the larger plants of this collection and was dug with a great root ball. Regular Price: $1900

ENCEPHALARTOS CERINUS A SUPER RARE DWARF CYCAD CONTAINER SIZE: 25 gallon CAUDEX SIZE: 9 inches PRESENCE OF OFFSETS/PUPS: PLANT NUMBER: 12 RARITY: Extremely rare COMMENTS: This South African species is known for its dwarf mature size and compact leaves. Leaf color is green to gray green. It is a super rare cycad coveted by many. You'll almost never seen one available of this size. A coning size caudex is 8 inches or a bit larger. I suspect this plant has coned before but do not know the sex. It likes coastal sun and is cold hardy to the low 20's F. I've never had an E. cerinus quite this large before. It was dug with a very large root ball. Regular Price: $2300


ENCEPHALARTOS CYCADIFOLIUS THIN LEAFLETS VERY COLD HARDY CONTAINER SIZE: 15 gallon CAUDEX SIZE: 4 inches PRESENCE OF OFFSETS/PUPS: #4 2 inch pups PLANT NUMBER: 13 RARITY: Very rare COMMENTS: This green cycad is also native to South Africa and has leaves that many say resemble the Holly Fern. Cones are fire engine red, especially on females. Caudex size is never over 2 feet and leaf size is up to about 7 feet. Most people grow this species in Filtered light. I'd estimate the cold Regular Price: $1700 This plant has sold

ENCEPHALARTOS DOLOMITICUS UNBELIEVABLE RARE BLUE CYCAD THIS PLANT HAS NINE PUPS! CONTAINER SIZE: 15 gallon CAUDEX SIZE: 6 inches with nine pups PRESENCE OF OFFSETS/PUPS: One three inch pup and eight 2 inch pups PLANT NUMBER: 14 RARITY: Unbelievably rare COMMENTS: Of all the cycads in the world that one could dream of possessing, this in in the top five that are most difficult to obtain. It is from the Transvaal area of South Africa and has blue to blue-green leaves. It loves sun and heat but should be protected in the desert. Mature size is medium. This plant has been container grown and is amazing because of the number of offsets that it has. It is a collectors dream to own such a specimen. Regular Price: $6500 This plant has sold


ENCEPHALARTOS FEROX CYCAD WITH A RED CONE CONTAINER SIZE: 2 gallon CAUDEX SIZE: Three inches PRESENCE OF OFFSETS/PUPS: PLANT NUMBER: 15 RARITY: rare COMMENTS: This South African cycad has a "holly fern" leaflets, a red cone and is medium sized. It tolerates partial light along the coast or strong filtered light. Cold hardiness is into the low 20's F. This plant was dug and (I think) neglected. It should have more leaves with a 3 inch caudex. It should do well with good care. Regular Price: $95

*ENCEPHALARTOS GRATUS* CONTAINER SIZE: 15 gallon CAUDEX SIZE: 7.5 inches PRESENCE OF OFFSETS/PUPS: PLANT NUMBER: 16 RARITY: fairly rare COMMENTS: This Central African cycad is quite growing and makes a fairly large mature plant with long green leaves. Along the coast it can tolerate part to possibly full sun. Cold hardiness is somewhere in the 23 degree F. range. This plant is a nice, chunky 25g. It's begging to find a home in the ground. Regular Price: $725

*ENCEPHALARTOS ITURIENSIS* CONTAINER SIZE: 15 gallon CAUDEX SIZE: 10 inches PRESENCE OF OFFSETS/PUPS: PLANT NUMBER: 17 RARITY: Extremely rare COMMENTS: This large Central African cycad is native to the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is known for its very long and powerful upright leaves. Trunks get over 15 feet tall and leaves are 12 feet long. It takes coastal sun. Being Central African, it's not as cold hardy as the South African species, but multiple growers in our area have had no problems with it. This plant is huge for a 15g pot. You never see them for sale this large. Regular Price: $1600

*ENCEPHALARTOS LAURENTIANUS* CONTAINER SIZE: 20 gallon CAUDEX SIZE: 7 inches PRESENCE OF OFFSETS/PUPS: PLANT NUMBER: 18 RARITY: Extremely rare COMMENTS: This is another Central African cycad. It's probably one of the more rare cycads presented here. About two decades ago, one could only dream of getting this plant, the cycad with the longest leaves of any cycad in the world. Leaves are green in color and can be over twenty feet long. Native habitats are in the Congo and Angola. Trunks can get over 40 feet tall. Leaflets are armed and recognizable. They often have multiple punctate ends at the terminal leaflet. This plant is in a larger 20g pot to give it room to grow. It was not dug but rather container grown. I'd give it part day sun or strong filtered light. It was getting half day sun when we got it. This was too much. Cold hardiness is probably the mid-twenties. Like the ituriensis above, you never see plants this big for sale. Regular Price: $2400 This plant has sold

ENCEPHALARTOS LEHMANNI SUPER BLUE LEAVES CONTAINER SIZE: 15 gallon CAUDEX SIZE: 6 inches PRESENCE OF OFFSETS/PUPS: PLANT NUMBER: 19 RARITY: Very rare COMMENTS: This blue cycad is from South Africa and is popular because it's not as spiny as some other blue African species. In the ground leaves are quite uniform. It does need sun to maintain the blue color. Mature size is typically under six to seven feet, even after many years. It's easy to grow and very attractive. Regular Price: $825

*ENCEPHALARTOS LONGIFOLIUS* CONTAINER SIZE: 15 gallon CAUDEX SIZE: 6 inches PRESENCE OF OFFSETS/PUPS: PLANT NUMBER: 20 RARITY: Very rare COMMENTS: This medium to large South African species is super attractive and very popular. It can have leaves six to seven feet long. Leaflets tend to stack and are very uniform. Leaves arch over, sometimes with a dramatic curl. Leaf color is anything from green to blue. This plant definitely has some blue to it. Mature height can be over ten feet. Regular Price: $850

ENCEPHALARTOS MACROSTROBILUS SUPER RARE PLANT CONTAINER SIZE: 15 gallon CAUDEX SIZE: 6 inches PRESENCE OF OFFSETS/PUPS: PLANT NUMBER: 21 RARITY: Extremely rare COMMENTS: This cycad is extremely rare. It is native to northwestern Uganda with about two to three hundred plants remaining in the wild. Habitat elevation is 900 to 1400 meters. Mature plants have caudex height of under ten feet. Leaves are green and six to seven feet long. Because of political issues and this species remote location, it is rarely seen for sale. And, a plant of this size is also rarely seen. I'd recommend limited sun. cold tolerance is not specifically known. Regular Price: $1800

ENCEPHALARTOS SPECIES MANIKENSIS ALLIANCE CONTAINER SIZE: 15 gallon CAUDEX SIZE: 6 inches PRESENCE OF OFFSETS/PUPS: PLANT NUMBER: 22 RARITY: rare COMMENTS: Unfortunately, the label was lost on this plant. We cannot specifically identify it at this time but can say it's part of the E. manikensis alliance. This includes six to eight different species. Anticipate a medium sized mature plant with green leaves. Most plants from this group take coastal sun, are quick growing and medium sized. Cold tolerance should be into the low 20's F. Regular Price: $550

ENCEPHALARTOS SPECIES MANIKENSIS ALLIANCE ANOTHER PLANT CONTAINER SIZE: 15 gallon CAUDEX SIZE: 6 inches PRESENCE OF OFFSETS/PUPS: PLANT NUMBER: 23 RARITY: rare COMMENTS: The label was also not present on this plant as well. It's a bit different from the plant above with more crowded and slightly cupped leaflets. Everything said above would also apply to this plant. Regular Price: $550

*ENCEPHALARTOS MIDDELBURGENSIS* CONTAINER SIZE: 15 gallon CAUDEX SIZE: 4 inches with 3 inch pup PRESENCE OF OFFSETS/PUPS: one 3 inch PLANT NUMBER: 24 RARITY: Extremely rare COMMENTS: This blue to blue green South African cycad is native to the Transvaal region in the northern part of the country. All species from this region tend to be very rare and expensive. Mature heights can reach twenty feet with four to five foot leaves. Growth rate is slow. The plant shown here is good size and has suckered. It's a full sun species, is cold hardy to about 22 degrees F, and is never inexpensive. Regular Price: $2450


*ENCEPHALARTOS NATALENSIS* CONTAINER SIZE: 15G CAUDEX SIZE: 7 inches PRESENCE OF OFFSETS/PUPS: PLANT NUMBER: 25 RARITY: Fairly rare COMMENTS: This popular species of of green South African cycad is native to the Eastern Cape region.

We are also unsure what species this one is and any tag was gone. The most notable and unique features of this plant are the cupped leaflets that are loaded with white tomentum, heavily armed petioles, curled tips to the leaflets (downwards) and a soft and thin texture to the leaflets. It's very different. Leaf color is green. I can't predict mature height. Regular Price: $600


ENCEPHALARTOS TRISPINOSUS CONTAINER SIZE: 15 gallon CAUDEX SIZE: 4.5 inches PRESENCE OF OFFSETS/PUPS: 3 pups each 3 inches PLANT NUMBER: 29 RARITY: Very rare COMMENTS: This species of blue South African cycad is known for it's color, it's gnarly and spiny leaflets and its small mature size.
