Cycad selection in the Bay Area
I'm so unbelievably fascinated by the eclectic nature of cycads. I find their prehistoric origin so fascinating. To have them in my garden is so cool. I love the orderly structure that they present. They regularly create a wonderful conversation piece.
I struggle to find nurseries that have something other than Cycas revoluta. I live in Sunset zone 14, which has many that can grow in it without much issue. I cannot find many nurseries that have them near me. I would love to expand my collection, but I am hesitant to order any online because I cannot vet to the quality prior to receiving the plants.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
