Daphniphyllum macropodum

Daphniphyllum macropodum is a truly impressive evergreen tree. The young growth in spring resembles masses of miniature Cycads and has red hues. Older foliage sits as a rosette with a downward arch and is dark green. The combination of old and new foliage produces quite a dramatic display and affords the tree a lush appearance. Clusters of small, cream flowers in spring result in purple berries in autumn. It typically grows to 3 m tall and the same wide, and can be trimmed as necessary. Best results with this tree are achieved when it is grown in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained, sheltered site. It is tolerant of moderate frost once established. This evergreen is typically grown as a specimen, added to a mixed planting, maintained in a courtyard garden, included in a tropical garden, or planted around outdoor living areas.

Why Choose Cycads?

Cycads are among the world’s oldest living plant groups, admired for their bold, architectural form and resilience. These plants tolerate drought and poor soils, making them a fuss-free choice in New Zealand’s variable conditions. Cycads for sale at our nursery are carefully grown for both quality and hardiness, ensuring you receive thriving specimens that adapt easily to your garden.

Their distinctive foliage—tough, glossy, and deeply divided—creates stunning highlights in garden beds, pots, or as feature plants. They pair beautifully with ferns, succulents, or underplanted with ground covers for lush, layered planting schemes. Many cycads can also be grown indoors in bright, well-lit spaces.

How to Grow and Care for Cycads

Buying cycads for sale is just the beginning. Once established, cycads are low-maintenance. Plant in free-draining soil, water well during the first year, and feed in spring with a controlled-release fertiliser. Most cycads grow slowly, so choose a spot where your plant can stay for decades. Protect young plants from heavy frost and overwatering. Minimal pruning is needed—simply remove old, faded leaves as required.
