Notas de cultivo
Adaptable to various soils, including heavier clay soils.
Unlike many protea this one grows with a single main trunk, making it easy to prune into a more treelike form. That said, it tends to be open, sparsely branched and lanky.
Interés especial
This plant grows in mountainous South Africa where light snowfalls occur.
