On the sign:
6
ציקס מופשל
Cycas revoluta


תפוצה טבעית: יפן

אמנם דומה לדקל, אך הרבה יותר קדום ממנו ומעצים אחרים בעלי פרחים: קדום מהמחטניים ואף מהדינוזאורים. העץ שלפניך הוא נקבי, ומימין לו העץ הזכרי.

False Sago Palm
(Cycad)
Cycas revoluta


Natural range: Japan

Though resembling palms, cycads evolved long before the palms, before the other flowering trees, and before the conifer trees and even before the dinosaurs. The tree before you is a female, and to its right is a male.

[שאלה]
השווה בין עץ זה לבין תמר מצוי (משמאלך, עץ מס. 4 Click for sign's details, ליד פינת הבנין). במה הם שונים ובמה הם דומים?

[a question]
What’s similar and what’s different in the look of these cycads, as compared to a date palm (tree 4 Click for sign's details, near the corner of the building on your left)?

[הפאה הרביעית של הקוביה]
[The fourth face of the cube]
[התשובה לשאלה]
הדמיון בין ציקס לבית תמר: לשניהם צמרת גדולה שעליה מורכבים ובשניהם הגזע לא מכוסה בקליפה; כל עץ הוא זכר או נקבה. השוני: בציקסים, בניגוד לתמר, ניצנים קטנים מופיעים על הגזע, ללא פריחה על העץ. בעץ הזכרי מופיעים איצטרובלים (מאוחר באביב עד אמצע קיץ).

[The Answer to the question]
Cycad\palm similarities: A crown of large, compound leaves, trunk with no bark, and each tree is either a male or a female. Differences: In cycads, but not palms, small buds are found on the trunk, no flowers, and male tree has cones (late spring to mid-summer).
