Why are cycads so special?

DID YOU KNOW

Cycads are seed plants with a long fossil history. They existed before, during, and after dinosaurs roamed the Earth, making them approximately 280 million years old. ‘These plants are adaptable, resilient and they have a tremendous will to survive,’ Steve points out. They are often mistaken for palms, as they also grow in tropical and subtropical climates, but they are more closely related to conifers.
