Cycads

Cycads are cone-bearing plants that have an ancient past to the time of the dinosaurs. They are often called living fossils. Currently, they are relics confined to localized habitats in tropical and subtropical areas around the world. It takes several years of growing a cycad to get a leaf count and size that attracts attention as a landscape or potted plant.
