Cycad Bamboo

A cycad bamboo is a species of fern bamboo native to West Africa and Central Africa. Unlike most other fern bamboos, cycad bamboo has cycad-like leaves instead of fern-like leaves. It can grow to about 11 feet tall and can have a stem about 13 inches in diameter. It is mainly found in swamps, forests, subtropical forests, and tropical rainforests, but if conditions are right, they can also survive in human settlements.
