Tom: I would also add that your Article seems to conflict with your advice, given below, that you would "never cut off leaves unless they need to be cut off. Cutting off good looking leaves just reduces the enrgy in the plant." Doesn't this conflict with the observations, in your article, that REMOVING good looking leaves, say 20-50%, actually promotes a growth response in most (but not all) cycads?
