How do you get sago palms to get really big?

Plenty of water, plenty of sun, and plenty of palm food...and even more time..these palms are slow growing and take many, many years to become "trees." I have a beauty in my back yard that I planted from a puppy. It is very big around, has tons of gorgeous fronds, but afte 6 years, is only about 5 feet tall to tip of fronds...the trunk isn't even a foot long. When you see Sago palms that are towering, you are looking at trees that are 50 - 100 years old!

How do you get sago palms to get really big?
Lots of attention and lots of time. They have a very slow growth rate.
