Oldest European cycad (subtext of image)
[edit]This seems unlikely, since the worlds oldest potted plant is a cycad in England. From the Guinness Book of Records: "The world's oldest potted plant is a prickly cycad (Encephalartos altensteinii), which was brought from South Africa to the UK and planted in 1775. The cycad is currently on display in the Palm House, Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew, Surrey, UK” VonPalm (talk) 18:35, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
- The Lednice species looks to be very old: 300–400 years old per their World Heritage website. However they don't say it's Europe's oldest. I think the image caption should omit this claim and just say "At Lednice Palm-house, Czech Republic". Declangi (talk) 04:51, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
