Dioon (Gum) Palm Tree- Dwarf Dioon Gum Palm [Dioon spinulosum]

Welcome to TyTy Nursery, the best place on the internet to buy Tropical Palm Trees! Our Tropical Palm Trees are spectacular in landscapes of all kinds, and we can ship to you immediately during the season. The height of TyTy palm trees is measured from the bottom of the trunk to the topmost tip of the leaves. The American Nursery trade conforms to this standard of measurement called "OA", overall height.


Pictured is a 1 yr. size Dioon Gum Palm tree. This is the largest of the American Cycads and specimens have been growing up to 50ft tall, however, most plants found will grow up to 12ft tall.


Giant Dioon is technically a cycad of pre-historical origin, and the Dioon palm tree can grow up to 1 ½ ft. in diameter with a Dioon trunk growing twelve feet tall. The bright waxy-green leaves of the Dioon are feather-like and pointed on the tips. The giant Dioon palm tree is a favorite container plant and will tolerate temperatures of 25 degrees F. In low light situations, the Dioon Palm bush forms a spectacular garden specimen.

The Dioone edule is common in Mexico and grows South in other Central American countries into clumps that may grow 12 feet tall. In containers the plants grow very slowly and are actually more cold hardy than the Sago Palm Trees, which they strongly resemble. The Dioone Palm Tree grows sprays of leaves similar in form to fern fronds.


Dioon edule palm is not technically a palm but a member of an ancient group of prehistoric plants called cycads. Dioon means “two egg” seeds that are born on the female cone of the plant in pairs and edule meaning edible, and the Mexicans grind the seed into a flour and use the tortillas as a food item. The Dioon Palm is especially attractive when containerized near home entrances for that green tropical appearance.


The newly formed fronds (leaves) arise from the center of the Dioon in a strange form and arching like an exotic feather. The bright waxy green leaves are fern-like but stiff and sharp as they mature. The Dioone Palm Trees is an excellent potted specimen that can be grown outside or inside.


The Dioon Gum Palm tree originated in Mexico and requires light shade. The Dioon Gum Palm tree is cold hardy to light freezes, but foliage will freeze in temperatures below 20°F.


The Dioon edule is an excellent plant for containers and is often seen at entrances of hotels and homes in the Southern U.S. The Dioon Palm Trees are very cold hardy and will give your landscape an exotic, tropical look.

The Dioon edule will survive very cold hardy weather down to 10 degrees F., and ranks as the most cold hardy cycad like the Sago Palm Tree. The Dioon edule should be grown in some shade. This living fossil has not changed over the last 20,000 years. Shows no foliage damage at 10°F.


The Dioon edule is easy to grow from seed or offsets and this cycad will respond quickly to fertilizer and water with vigorous growth. The leaves of the Dioon Palm plant tend to arch toward the direction of incoming light.


The long leaves of the Dioon Gum Palm tree are shaped like gigantic fern fronds, but the leaflets have a bright shiny, green color, are stiff and sharply toothed.
