It is said that Cycads were the food of the dinosaurs, if this is in fact the case one can only surmise that dinosaurs had quite robust gums as the majority of cycads have tough, sometimes sharp leaves.
Great plants for the ground or pots – Full sun to part shade.
Palmland stocks native Cycads; Macrozamia and, Lepidoozamia Peroffskyana. The Japanese Cycas Revoluta and the Mexican cardboard plant, Zamia Furfuracea.

Originating from Madagascar, the Triangle Palm is a very unique palm with a triangular shape. Foliage grows from 3 distinct points of the trunk creating the triangle look, which is why this palm is also sometimes called ‘Triangular Palm’. Spectacular grey-green leaves grow almost upright from the trunk and arch at the top.

There are thousands of species of ferns, Palmland offers an extensive range of ferns both native and exotic. Most ferns prefer the shade from a canopy although the number one selling fern at Palmland, Blechnum Silver Lady tolerates full morning sun and the very popular Cyathea Cooperii grows equally well in both shade or full sun. However the vast majority of ferns stocked enjoy total shade.
Included in those ferns offered are: Adiantum – Maidenhair fern, Asplenium – Birds Nest fern, Dicksonia Antarctica, Polypodiuym, Crytomium, Platycerium – Staghorn, Elkhorn, Tassel fern.
