How fast does Cycad Revoluta (Sago Palm) grow?

Cycad Revoluta grows very slowly, producing 1-3 new fronds annually in circular flushes. Young plants may take 5-10 years to establish their characteristic crown. Optimal light, warmth, and regular feeding during growing season encourage faster development.

Does Cycad Revoluta (Sago Palm) prefer full sun or shade?
