Where was that picture taken? Here it is, in Richmond, Texas, so plenty mild enough for a cycad. You can buy the property for a mere $1.275M https://www.trulia.com/property/3096...t-Dr-Richmond- TX-77406 Interesting that estate agents in the US advertise a house with photos showing complete clutter in every room.
