Default Re: Cycad hardiness?

Howard - If you want one, you've got it. (in the spring) However, I don't think I have a sport. Usually, if you get a "sport", it means one branch of a tree/shrub is different and, if you take a cutting of that branch, you might be able to continue that trait. However, I don't think you can take a cutting of a cycad (you could probably TC it). I think the 6 or 8 plants that I have each originated from a separate seed and, chances are, that all of these seeds exhibited the same variation are rare.
However, I have an area where I planted Callas, with the intention of digging, and storing them in the fall. I didn't do it, and they've come back for 8 years now, so one can be suprised..
Whatever, if any of these make it to the spring, I'll let you know, and you can have one.
