Product Description

Dioon merolae is a majestic and rare cycad species native to Chiapas and Oaxaca in southern Mexico. It features a tall, columnar trunk that can reach up to 3 meters (10 feet) in height, crowned with a full head of gracefully arching, silvery-blue to blue-green fronds. The leaflets are slender, widely spaced, and softly recurved, giving the plant a feather-like elegance. This species combines striking prehistoric form with a tropical flair, making it a prized specimen in arid or semi-tropical landscape designs.
