This is one of the world's largest cycads. Unfortunately I have no pictures of large ones... they can grow up to 35'... maybe taller in their native northern Australia. But here in the US I have only seen shrimpy ones. It is an attractive species with small, closely spaced, twisted, overlapping leaflets from green to grey. As the plant grows, it can branch and form some impressive trees of 2-4 branches.
