These photos are of a cycad that we grew from seedling .It has taken over 25yrs to get to this size .

Please, WHERE is this?

Oh Gosh.... you've grown a dinosaur.
It looks like a prehistoric pine cone.
What a beauty. I'll have to show DHDon this photo.

Forgot between Sydney & Newcastle

I've never seen one. Quite interesting!

This is fascinating. I would LOVE to live in a climate warm enough to grow these!! Looks somewhat similar to our pine cones. Thank you for sharing!!

Have just taken this picture of my Cycad - not nearly as impressive as yours!!!

Probably a different variety but still a lovely plant,it reminds me of a tree fern

Wow - that is some seed pod. I also have a cycad growing in a pot. We were away for 3 weeks over Christmas and my neighbour was so busy watering my roses that she did not water my cycad so at the moment it is looking a bit sad and sorry for itself.

About Xmas time it either produces new fronds or a seed pod .If new fronds come we often have to cover them up ,whiles they are small &soft ,to protect them from the heat or summer hail storms

most unusual!!The plants that I planted in 1993 are all over grown now and I need for someone to pull them up and start all over. I should have had this plant.

I haven't ever seen anything like that. That's what you call slow growing. Where are you located? Just wondering what part of the world they grow.
