Description
Dioon merolae is a species of cycad that is native to Chiapas and Oaxaca, Mexico
This Mexican native is a medium-sized plant well suited to warm temperate and subtropical climates. Its leaves, fuzzy when immature, are dark green and stiff when mature. This is a frost-tolerant, heat-tolerant and sun-tolerant species.
Dioon merolae is a beautiful species with narrow leaflets that tend to be set slight angles along the rachis like a partially set of open blinds or a heater vent. New leaves are tomentose but quickly become leathery, stiff and somewhat rough to the touch (not slick-smooth like Dioon edule leaves).This is a moderate sized plant (massive plants exist in Mexico) and a moderately fast grower as well. Dioon merolae’s cold tolerance is not too impressive, however; nor does it perform well in shady locations, so it is a bit less adaptable than some of the other Dioons.
