Encephalartos ferox 28cm Fantastic specimen!

Item description : Amazing plant with a 28cm caudex and a 150cm leaves span (at least!), very difficult to find at this size especially since South Africa import are limited to 15cm in caudex diameter. This plant is mature but the sex is not known yet. The plant for sale is the pictured one.

Cold hardiness : Given for zone 9b (-3°C/-4°C), can tolerate light frosts without damages.
