Man oh man, this took a long time this summer, probably from our cold spring.
This one's finally doing more:

Thanks Steve.
Seems to have slowed down in our recent heatwave.
Look at nature's artwork on the unfurling leaves...I'm always awed by this:

Nice shots, Barb. It is always quite a process to see a cycad's soft flushes turn into spiky fronds

Thanks, Cameron.
The nice thing about C.debaoensis is that it NEVER becomes spiky, remaining soft and pliable.
Here's my fav internet pic of a mature one:

that's a beauty Barb! If I lived in a zone 8/9 location I would be growing cycads all over the place!
