These plants receive very little water and fertilizer. We're hoping they prove to be a choice xerophytic selection for a Mediterranean climate.

Here’s a goody we think you may find interesting. We’ve crossed a ‘special’ Encephalartos trispinosus with an Encephalartos aemulans. I think of aemulans as being like a faster growing encephalartos ghellinckii of the compact green plants. The massive amount of wool produced by the aemulans, the blue of the trispinosus and wildly different leaf structure of the two species makes predicting the outcome very difficult. They should be fun and are available now. Supply is limited.

We've been working on something that we hope comes out very special and this is one of the parents. It was chosen for its unbelievable growth rate. There's something seriously wrong with this plant—a real freak, probably one of Shogo Mountain's most massive cycads. Two crosses that benefit from this bloodline will soon be available. I've chosen a very vigorous and fast growing munchii/chimanimaniensis hybrid and crossed it with a Kirkwood lehmannii.

Also, the same chimamimaniensis/munchii hybrid was crossed with eugene maraisii.

I'm looking forward to getting these into your hands. They will be exciting plants, for sure.

These have the potential of being the fattest trunked and fast growing blue plants 'out there'. Very limited supply, email me now if you're interested.

For a 'dab of blue' it's hard to beat a lehmannii.

Encephalartos longifolius

We were fortunate this season—had some choice plants to collect pollen from and to pollinate. Fun stuff!
