Can I expand my ZFS pool size later by incrementaly replacing disks with larger capacity ones?

Community Edition

I'm hoping the title made sense...

I have a 6 18Tb disk RaidZ2 array.

I'm aware that if I add/replace the 18Tb disks with 26Tb disks as I need space or replace failed drives, that those 26Tb drives effectively function as 18Tb drives.

But once all of the 18Tb disks are replaced with 26Tb ones, can I expand the pool to use the full 26Tbs of space on each drive?
