I have seen leaves to maybe 1m . It is fairly common in Australia , and I have seen it in seed several times and find it hard to believe it takes that long to mature . Usual time for many is only 2-3 months , with some to 1 year and a very few 18 months . I have set seed on several species that some of the most experienced growers in America have never managed to seed . Living in the true wet tropics really helps imho.
To compare it with Cycads re. seed maturation .. some Zamia ripen in only 4 months , a recent cone on Z.psuedoparasitica took nearly 2 years , but this was down in the sub-tropics .
