Lepidozamia peroffskyana – Wholesale Nurseries.

Lepidozamia peroffskyana is a Cycad native to New South Wales and Queensland. This is a large but slow growing cycad that can reach 5m over time. Tall arching fronds with a soft fern like look make it a most attractive, if unusual landscaping plant.

Commonly given the common name of ‘ Burrawang’ or ‘Pineapple Zamia’ and also known as the ‘Scaly Zamia’ the long fronds remind us of those of a palm tree. However this is a cycad, rather than a palm tree, over time it will form a trunk and can reach 5m in height.

The trunk may not develop for a number of years, so in these terms Lepidozamia peroffskyana has a very slow growth rate.

Foliage is faster to develop and it is for the wide spreading foliage that Lepidozamia peroffskyana is so widely used as a landscaping plant.

Suited to growing in a container and best in part shade, this species will grow as far south as Melbourne and does require a well drained soil. Some excellent specimens can be found in the Botanical Gardens of Melbourne and Sydney, however some of the best are in the Maranoa Gardens in Melbourne.
