I was always told that Dioon Edule are super slow growers.
I received one that had some old leaves on it which I had to cut about 3-4 leaves off after it went to a little trans shock but left two good leaves on. Shortly after the Edule flushed, but I still left the two old leaves on. After the new flush came in and established itself, the two old leaves made the tree look a little strange so I cut them off. That was in Mid June. I just checked and I have a new flush starting on it again. So thats two flushed on an Edule in less than three months. This tree is a caudex size of about a PineApple.
June 18 w/ two old leaves
June 26 w/o two leaves and new flush taking form
August 7
I am now a firm believer in leave trimming
