Cycas revoluta x DEBAOENSIS (TRUE DEBAO!)

Item description : One well established Cycas revoluta x debaoensis in a 1.4L pot You receive a plant similar to the plants on pictures. Very limited availability

Habitat and Description : Hybrid obtained from the pollination of a female Cycas revoluta with pollen of Cycas debaoensis. The pollen I used comes from a male originally from the type location for debaoensis (Fuping). Those who know me already know that I discovered that basically all the Cycas revoluta x debaoensis offered for sale turned out to be Cycas revoluta x multifrondis actually. Thus the real Cycas revoluta x debaoensis is extremely rare. Leaves of this hybrid should be much more robust and more divided than revoluta x multifrondis.

Care : Fast growing hybrid, can be grown in full sun or shade. Likes well draining soil but needs a lot of water in summer, especially if grown in full sun.

Cold hardiness : Hardy to zone 9a, probably 8b. More trials need to be made to determiner this hybrid’s limits.
