I haven't ever seen anything like that. That's what you call slow growing. Where are you located? Just wondering what part of the world they grow.

most unusual!!The plants that I planted in 1993 are all over grown now and I need for someone to pull them up and start all over. I should have had this plant.

About Xmas time it either produces new fronds or a seed pod .If new fronds come we often have to cover them up ,whiles they are small &soft ,to protect them from the heat or summer hail storms

Wow - that is some seed pod. I also have a cycad growing in a pot. We were away for 3 weeks over Christmas and my neighbour was so busy watering my roses that she did not water my cycad so at the moment it is looking a bit sad and sorry for itself.

It should recover & grow new fronds,ours have all suffered from sun & wind burn over the yrs .Just cut off the old fronds after the new ones grow & it will look like new next Xmas

This is fascinating. I would LOVE to live in a climate warm enough to grow these!! Looks somewhat similar to our pine cones. Thank you for sharing!!
