## Description

Virgin Palm The fabulous virgin's palm has stiff, upright blue-green to gray-green leaves that resemble futuristic radio antennae. Technically the virgin's palm is not a palm but rather a cycad, belonging to a group of cone bearing plants which trace their origins back to the ancient flora of the early Mesozoic era. Virgin's palm grows to about 11 ft (3.4 m) tall under optimal conditions. The trunk may reach 4-12 in (10.2-30.5 cm) in diameter. Virgin's palm has 15-20 leaves that are featherlike (pinnate), about 6 ft (1.8 m) long, and extend radially out from the trunk. The 120-160 leaflets on each leaf are small, linear, leathery and taper to a sharp point. The edible seeds produced in female cones take more than a year to mature. Virgin's palm grows in tropical deciduous oak forests, and in harsh, dry conditions in Mexico, Honduras and Nicaragua.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    2 sprouted
  

*by S***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 5, 2012*

Two of the five seeds sprouted, so I think thats "okay".  Cycades are slow growing, it will be several years before I will know what they really look like.

    Nothing happened
  

*by A***A on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 1, 2020*

I'm not a total plant failure but I couldn't get these palms to take. I have no way of 100% proving it but given that I've managed with every other seed I've ever tried, I like to think that in this case it was the seeds that were bad and not user error.

### ⭐ 







  
  
    Will not recommend
  

*by O***G on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 7, 2021*

Bought 2 packs (10 seeds total) and none has germinated. Definitely will not purchase again.
