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 :cry:
But WOW taylor, yours did GREAT!!!

Taylor,

Congrats! That is a great looking Cycad 8)

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

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.
