Macrozamia (Moorei)
The Macrozamia Moorei is one of the most majestic of Australian native cycads. It is named after Charles H Moore, the first superintendent of the Sydney Botanic Gardens. It is renowed for itβs large rounded, date-palm-like crown gracefully curved with dark bluish green fronds.
The species grows in large colonies, frequently in easily accessible scenic rocky areas. It is apparently well known both in Australia and overseas.
Macrozamia Moorei is suited to tropical, sub-tropical, and temperate regions. It is a hardy and versatile species and adapts well to climates and soil with good drainage.

- Tolerates Heavy Frosts
- Records show that plants have grown to 2 metres tall ( 6 ft 6 inches) from seed in less than 100 years.
