Exotic Palms & Cycads Wholesale Export.

Licuala palms and cycads such as Zamia and Cycas supply architectural foliage in distinct plant groups. Compare species, current height, crown spread and stem development against the intended display. A juvenile can differ substantially from a mature specimen in appearance and handling, so use photographs of the offered size rather than a mature landscape example alone.

For specimen orders, review root dimensions, crown clearance and protection of the growing point before comparing freight. Ask how roots will be prepared and supported and whether leaves or a new flush can fit without damaging compression. Packed weight and carton size both matter; neither a universal freight share nor a single root-handling method can be assumed across palms and cycads.

Most Cycas and Zamia species are in CITES Appendix II; Cycas beddomei and Zamia restrepoi are Appendix I exceptions in the 2026 Appendices. Appendix II normally requires export documentation, while a CITES import permit depends on destination law. Appendix I has stricter controls, with special provisions for qualifying artificially propagated plants. Confirm the species, source status and applicable CITES documents with the authorities alongside separate plant-health entry requirements.
