Dioon angustifolium
T37-06 — Zone 8 to 10— northeastern Mexico
Chamal!
One of the most outstanding cold hardy cycads for dry shade. In its native land it grows in full sun to dry shade in exposed skeletal soils. Due to its tenacity it is the perfect answer to the question: What can I plant that will tolerate dry shade, especially drought that is the result of too many tree roots in the garden?
The subspecies Dioon edule var. angustifolia has now been elevated to the specific status of Dioon angustifolium.
