Dioon edule 'Rio Verde' big/mature palms They have remained one ofAlso known as the Chestnut Dioon, this lovely Cycad needs plenty of warmth to give new growth but is nevertheless more cold hardy than many (just be sure to water it less in cold periods). Give it plenty of sunlight, not only is it good for the plant, but it will bring out the bluer shades in the leaves. It can be grown in the ground or in a large container. The trunk is rough and scaly in texture. Young leaves are soft and light grayish blue green.
