Not a palm!

Not a palm!

Cycas circinalis,the Queen Sago. It's also one of the best cycads to grow indoors- with lots of light and room. Mine here is in flush with this years new leaves. Last year? It also flushed this time of year only we had a heatwave of over 100f something that burned the soft tender leaves. I had to look at them slightly burned the whole year once they hardened. This year,no problems with high temps only in the 70's.

Definitely indoors in our neck of the woods, Stan. This is a lovely specimen. I’d probably prune the outer fronds, as I often do this with my tree ferns.

The new leaves Kate are like a breath of fresh air compared to last years.I will probably prune off the worn ones as soon as the new ones finish developing.
