WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! How many are there???I lost count!
Sadly, mine had 5 leafs, one I accidentaly broke off at the 3" stage, one got broke by the wind while waiting to go in the greenhouse, and one broke this weekend when the wind blew 50mph. So I now have a 2' trunk with two leafs

But WOW taylor, yours did GREAT!!!

Taylor, can we get an updated pic on that flush PLEASE!

Mine is starting another flush as I write this and it reminded me that I had not seen yours lately.

RIGHT ON TAYLOR!!!!!!!
WONDERFUL. What is that a 12 leafer? Thats exactly what mine is pushing right now. Not sure mine will look as good as yours as that is a WONDERFUL flush.

Gorgeous, Taylor.

Taylor,

Congrats! That is a great looking Cycad

Are you going to keep it in a container, or will it eventually go in ground?

Very nice That baby is huge!!

taylor · Post by **taylor** » Tue Jun 03, 2008 2:39 pm

It should be in the ground now...but I can't think of the perfect place for it. I think it will be in the ground within the next week or 2, but I am very indecisive.

Thanks for all of the compliments!

If you want it to go through the winter Taylor, you had better get in the ground soon. It needs to get stable before fall. Robert C.
