Retired by CollectA U.S.A. - Limited to stock on hand.
This CollectA Cycad Tree features a sturdy textured trunk topped by a spreading crown of compound leaves arranged in the characteristic growth pattern associated with cycads. The detailed foliage and carefully applied hand-painted finish create a realistic plant model that works particularly well for prehistoric landscapes, wildlife displays, and educational dioramas.
The model's substantial height and broad foliage make it useful for adding vegetation and scale to displays featuring dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals, while also representing a group of plants that continues to survive today.
Cycads are ancient seed plants with a fossil history extending back hundreds of millions of years. Although their palm-like appearance can make them resemble palm trees, cycads belong to a separate group of plants characterized by thick trunks and crowns of large, stiff compound leaves.
Living cycads occur primarily in tropical and subtropical regions around the world, where different species inhabit forests, woodlands, grasslands, and rocky environments. They are generally slow-growing and can be exceptionally long-lived. Cycads also contribute to their ecosystems by providing food and habitat for insects and other animals.
