Leucadendron coniferum x Leucadendron floridum, marketed as Leucadendron Pisa, is a hybrid valued for its narrow, pointed bracts and light golden tones that frame silvery-grey cones. Its upright sprays and textural structure make Pisa a versatile choice for large-scale bouquet production, seasonal promotions, mass-market floral programmes, and wholesale straight-line bunches. Grown by supplier farms in the Western Cape, it is produced under export-ready standards.

Quality & Handling

• All stems are cut at the correct maturity with consistent lengths, tight grading, and clean foliage. Bracts and cones are checked for uniform colour and integrity.
• Field heat is removed immediately after harvest through cold-shock, and product is maintained under an unbroken cold chain from farm to freight.
• Vase life is typically 12–18 days, extended to 21 days when handled optimally. Re-cut stems by 2–3 cm at a sharp angle, remove any foliage below the waterline, and place in clean buckets with fresh water or preservative solution.
• Hydrate for at least 4–6 hours before onward distribution or display.
• Not strongly ethylene-sensitive, but chronic exposure shortens vase life and reduces market quality.
