Macrozamia Yuccas

Macrozamias are part of a very ancient group of plants known as cycads. The genus Macrozamia is endemic to Australia and there are about 25 species. They do not produce flowers and reproduce by means of cones borne on separate male and female plants. All species have dark green, palm-like fronds arising from a central trunk. In some species (including M.communis) the trunk is very short or subterranean.

Most of the larger Macrozamias are full sun plants and some suffer if given much shade at all. In general these are fairly cold-hardy plants, most tolerating light frosts and some fairly moderate freezes (though few tolerate climates in which it snows regularly). Most of these cycads respond well to plenty of water and fertilizer.
