attractive fern type plant. The giant Dioon has a shinny, stiff, light
to bright green leaves that grow in an upright nest shape. The typical
landscape size for the giant Dioon is 5-12 feet across while the trunk

like the vanes of a pinnate feather extending radically out from the
trunk. This cycad makes a great accent to the landscape.
