where in Southern California? You can get that species at any and all cycad nurseries in So Cal.. very common. From Santa Barbara to San Diego. Just go to your nearest one (has to be over half a dozen good cycad nurseries in this area, maybe even a dozen).

I live near the San Dimas area, so anywhere in LA or Orange County is great. Any suggestions?

Try A&A Cycads in Van Nuys. Excellent stock and tons to chose from.

If you are going to be near Santa Barbara, the garden shop at Lotusland (wonderful public garden) has seedlings in 1-gallon pots, propagated onsite from seeds from plants in the collection there.

I'm a volunteer docent at the garden, it's worth a visit. Worth a visit every week, actually.
