Ceratozamia mexicana Family: Zamiaceae Common Name(s): Grown by: David Feix, Berkeley This cycad from Mexico is similar to the sago palm cycas revoluta. However, David says this Mexican cycad grows much faster for him in our cool summer climate. This is a cycad for shade or dappled sun in well-drained soil and with plenty of water. It is not very frost-tolerant. It makes a great specimen for a large container. Photo by Bruce Peters
