After a decade once again I am at my hometown with my green friends, now each of those is under my supervision & care. I am trying to renew my garden.

Cycads are also not fans of direct mid day sun which can lead to scorching of foliage. Regular watering & a location out of mid day sun & obviously protection from winter cold can help although once damaged there isn't any way of making the effected branch look 100% healthy again. You have to wait for fresh ones to take over. Not the easiest of things to grow in my opinion.

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom yellowing in cyads can also be due to incorrect watering.

No sign of scale or mealey bugs, possibly early thrips damage or another sucking insect as damage has dried it is old damage. Doesen't look like spider mites either. When looking for insects tapping a stem over a piece of white paper will allow you to see easier @ankur1406

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom @DebsC neither it's feeding problem nor watering problem, but I agree with @moore.794
