Thank you! I've lived in south TX with a female sago growing for 7yrs in the front of my home not knowing or doing much maintenance to it. After a winter freeze, I started paying more attention when I thought I might lose this massive beauty! I hired someone to clean up the tree because it was more work than my schedule allowed. When the trimmer cut all but one prong, I literally cried! Also, no one recognized my house without its oversized leaves taking over the walkway. I learned a lot in this video and even braved removing 16 pups from the mother plant! Fingers crossed because now I want to save them all. ❤

honestly this is like the best video i've watched for sago palms... thank you soooo freaking much. what a wise man!!!!

Really great video. My Saga is a mess so this is so helpful

Thank you so much. I received a sago as a gift and had no idea what it was and how to care for it. Thank you again

Those are magnificent palms, and very valuable ! Continue taking great care of them👍

Great video, good information and nice job pruning, those sago's look awesome. I live in Toronto, Canada. Our weather is so cold here no palm or sago would survive the winter. I have an 8 year old Sago in a pot, not planted outside, they are great looking plans - very unique, they remind me of Vegas. Cheers pal.

Thank you for posting this video. I just moved to Florida and found 3 on my property and wanted to know all about them.

We had below freezing temp in N Fl for a couple days and my potted Sago died (I thought so I cut of dead fronds and with a great deal of effort got out of pot. Since rootball was so compact and heavy I drug it to burn pile. A few weeks later when I went to burn the Sago had put out new growth. I’m repotting in a much larger pot and putting in a semi permanent spot. I never watered or fertilized it. I love a plant that can take care of itself.

Great information and excellent video. I wasn’t sure if I needed to cut off the leaves that were turning yellow. My plant is still young. About 2 years old. Thank you

Very informative

Thanks for the tips bro

Wow! They look beautiful. Thanks for the tips.

Great JOB.

Great video! I finally found a video that talks about the 2 heads. I can cut them off!

Thank you for sharing. I'm new to sago your tips helped me how to care for it and what to expect. I have a male sago just-one plant.

They grow massive in width. I would not plant one in front of a house. They have offshoots that are thick and hard to remove from the base. The leaves have a sticky ruff texture and I think there are some needles near the trunk. They are however manageable in a planter pot. That is just where ours are staying. Thankyou for the video!

Very good info and video. Thanks!

Second time watching. I am sure I will watch next year also.

Wow they look awesome

In Houston Some of The Sago Palms Have 5 To 6 Heads On One Trunk, But Still Beautiful Plants.

I'm looking to plant 2 of these in my front yard, trying to figure out how far from the house I should plant these

Thanks for the tips!

Great video, good information and nice pruning. I bought a house with unmaintained sagos. Why do that have a bad smell some of them? I need to get those pups moved, have a bunch.

How do you tell the male pups from the females when they're so small? Even the bigger ones I dug up this afternoon (ripped up, honestly) I could only tell with the biggest ones

What is an alternative to neem oil because it is not available in my country?

I would like to know if you plant them in direct sun or indirect. Will they live in direct sun

I trim with cutters sometimes but i learned from someone that i can pull each palm leaf with my hands.. i pull (snap) a palm leaf sideways downward and it comes off. It leaves the cut more beautiful all around. Till this day i dont think it damages the palm but if i do get carried away i feel ill just make it look ugly.. i had a cousin that trimmed all the damn sago leaves and the palm looked wierd but it still grew back...after a month or two

thank you!

My sago did not get a new flush of leaves the last two years. This year it did. A few years ago it got a new flush of leaves once a year.

Great video good advice why do some of the leaves go yellow? 🤔

I😮’m in Maryland 7a. My male sago is 6 feet tall and has been potted for 30 yrs, at least. I roll it outside in May to October sun but it is leaning in the pot. I will attempt to remove it ,add fresh soil and set it upright. Do you think it would survive outside planted in the ground in sun year round?

What a harsh treatment!

Looks great. Using a chainsaw on truck will clean it up with a pineapple look to it. Awesome job

Peace be upon you. In my home garden, the sycd was grown 15 years ago. During the first 13 years it was good, but in the last two years, the growth of the leaves began to be incomplete. Note that I fertilize it every winter with manure or compost, and during the summer with NPK fertilizer. Help us❤

Are the roots a threat to water pipes?

We got a house where they planted them too close to the back of the house and down the side of the garage. There is no room to move them out further. We dont want the fronds on the buildings. Will trimming them off more on the backside cause problems?

beautiful. consider selling the puppies on e-bay or amazon.

Do you treat your sagos for insects? Specifically the Asian cycad scale, and what do you use?

Great video what zone do you live in?

Hi So If I dug up pups from a male as it has a cone on it at the moment ? Will they all be males ? I am So pleased to see what the pups look like ?I have about 2dozen pups I dug up some bigger ones to see how I go ?They seem nice and solid ?If there is not much root structure on them Do you add a rooting powder when potting? I am in Queensland Australia So we are about to head into summer down here

I may have missed it, but can you trim these any time of the year? I’m in northeast Florida.

I live in north Louisiana. Can I remove the flower now (October), or do I have to wait for the flower to start to die back? I dont plan on harvesting the seeds. I was hoping it would encourage new growth if I went ahead and removed it.

Sir tell me best fertilizer for faster growth

What zone are you in?

How old are your sagos ?

Fun fact, these are very toxic plants/tree.
