The average time between new leaves? That's funny, I've never really noticed. But, it seems to me that 1 leaf is still curled up while another is already coming out. We have to cut about 6 sets of 4 leaves per year. Ok, sorry, that's about once about every 6 weeks per leaf. Everyone probably already knows, but with palms it's better you don't let the weedwacker touch them AT ALL. Just a tiny cut can take alot of energy from the plant to heal, taking away from it's growth time.
