| I have a large 4+ foot tall Sago palm that had not been pruned in some time. When I pruned it, I found many side buds, and one very large one, which I am hesitant to prune.
You can see a picture here: http://www.phelpsinc.com/files/sago_palm.jpg When I cut this side bud off, should I treat the cut in some way to prevent infection? What product should I use? Thanks Brian |

| cutting off suckers is straight forward. You do not need to put anything on the wound (cycads seal their own wounds with a clear gel that works great). You can usually root suckers as long as they are not super dinky. |

| Thanks for the input. If you look at the picture You can see this is not a "sucker" but a very large side-growth. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Picture of side growth

| I kinda like it. Must be happy. |
