Sharing my Encephalartos sclavoi in the garden.  After seeing the cones some have thought this might be a male plant.

Hawaii Island (Big Island), leeward coast, 19 degrees N. latitude, south Kona mauka at approx. 380m (1,250 ft.) and about 1.6 km (1-mile) upslope from ocean.

 

No record of a hurricane passing over this island (yet!).  

Summer maximum rainfall - variable averaging 900-1150mm (35-45") - Perfect drainage on black volcanic rocky soil.  

Nice sunsets!

When Encephalartos cones get elongated, I usually associate them with being male, but I didn't check any reference texts for E sclavoi male texts.  I did want to say that it's a great looking plant Al.  Looks like you have a nice selection of Encephalartos genus in your garden.

That was supposed to say "I didn't check any reference texts for E sclavoi male cone descriptions".
