cycas palm
The Cycas palm is a striking, ancient plant treasured by New Zealand gardeners for its dramatic foliage and remarkable resilience. While commonly called a palm, the Cycas actually belongs to the cycad family—a group of prehistoric plants revered for their sculptural leaves and slow-growing nature. With their bold, feather-like fronds and stout trunk, Cycas palms make elegant focal points in subtropical gardens, modern landscapes, or container displays. Easy to care for and tolerant of coastal conditions, these cycads are an excellent choice for both beginner and experienced plant enthusiasts.
Trachycarpus fortunei (Chinese Windmill Palm)
Trachycarpus fortunei, commonly known as the Windmill Palm, is a hardy, evergreen palm ideal for New Zealand gardens. It features a tall, slender trunk topped with large, fan-shaped green leaves that create a tropical look. This palm grows slowly to about 8 m tall and 2 m wide. It thrives in full sun to partial shade, tolerates frost and wind well, and is perfect for subtropical themes or feature planting.
Cycas revoluta
Cycas revoluta, commonly known as the Sago Palm, King Sago, Sago Cycad, or Japanese Sago Palm, is an impressive and popular, small Palm tree. It grows with a fibrous trunk which is topped with a whorl of feathery, dark green fronds held with a gentle arch as it grows to 3 m tall and the same wide. Cycas revoluta makes an excellent specimen and is commonly added to tropical plantings, maintained in a container, planted around a pool or other outdoor living areas, or added to a mixed planting.
