This Cycad, I'm not so sure... and either was the sellar.. he doesn't really like to sell, generally wants to plant everything..

He grew this from seed and this came in a batch as "Cycas north vietnam"... some were later decided to be Cycas fugax... which I saw and were awesome!! Holding only one or two giant leaves...

But he allowed this one to go as he was not sure whether it was a runt or a hybrid... (runt fugax maybe?) Anyway, if its a hybrid, I think it will be cool!! no spines..

Any ideas or thoughts??

I should have got a pic of his fugax as they were 5' tall straight up with only one or two leaves per plant.

Hi,

You'll have to wait several years until we could provide you a precise ID. There are many species that could match your plant, also Cycas dolichophylla that is very very impressive.

Since you can't see my pics on the Cycad forum, I put these here so as everybody can see them:

I have one in the ground here. It certainly does not like the cold like some of the other Cycas, but it grows. Well it has for two years anyway. I think Phil might have a few left. Thats where I got mine two years ago.
