Cycas revoluta is native to Japan. It is characterized by its columnar trunk with a striking tuft of evergreen leaves at the top. It frequently produces suckers at the base or shoots along the trunk or branches, with both suckers and shoots developing into picturesque specimens with multiple trunks or branches. The pinnate leaves, 1.5 cm or more in length, are slightly arched and composed of 100 or more closely spaced leaflets, each 7-8 cm long; linear, opposite, leathery, pointed, and glossy green. The male inflorescences resemble long, erect cones with a pineapple aroma; the female inflorescences are rosettes of modified, brown leaves covered in dense down. When grown outdoors, it prefers fertile, moist, well-drained soil in a sunny location sheltered from the hottest part of the sun. When potted, it needs to be watered moderately from spring to autumn; during the winter the amount of water or humidity should be reduced.
