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.

How to Grow and Care for Cycads

Cycads are remarkably low-maintenance once established. Plant them in well-draining soil with plenty of sunlight or partial shade. Minimal watering is required, as cycads are drought-tolerant and resistant to most pests. They appreciate an occasional light feed in spring and benefit from protection against frost in cooler regions. With time, cycads can develop striking trunks and even produce fascinating cones—a real talking point for the garden.
