With their distinctive fronds and straight trunks, palms make a bold statement, while cycads are regarded by many as the dinosaurs of the plant world. As well as being economically useful in many tropical countries, palms and cycads add an exotic appeal that looks good in almost any setting. There is a wide range of species to choose from - whether you are looking to add a tropical accent to your garden or want to invest in an easy-care houseplant.
