Dioon edule Palma Sola Bletilla This 1999 Darrell Probst introductionDioon edule 'Palma Sola' is a giant form of hardy cycad from Mexico. This offering represents seed propagated plants from a population in the northern end of the Mexican state of Veracruz. The rosettes are composed of 3' long, rigid, glaucous green leaves. As the plant ages, it will form a trunk up to 6' tall for your grandkids. We recommend at least 4 6 hours of sun and well drained soils for best growth.
