Cycas revoluta
Sago Palm
These plants look great in our desert gardens. They bring a tropical, "palm-like" look to our landscapes. With age, they can get as tall as 20ft, but probably much smaller in our desert climate! Generally, they do best with afternoon shade, but with time they can be acclimated to full sun. They're generally slow growers, but they're beautiful plants at any stage. I think they're well worth planting in the garden at any size! Pictured is a larger specimen that belongs to my neighbor. The other is a small one in my front garden. It's been planted about one year.
