Cycads (Sago Palms) have a round trunk with a crown of evergreen leaves. It can provide a tropical look to the UK garden but is best grown in a container and moved outside in the summer. It is possible to grow it outside in milder regions of the UK but it will need winter protection.
They are very long lived plants and can grow to be hundreds of years old. As they are slow growing, larger specimens will be very expensive to buy.
These plants are toxic to animals such as cats and dogs so care should be taken when deciding to include the in your garden.
