Sago Palm
| | |
Posted by Pattyjo98 z8 NV (My Page) on Sat, Sep 10, 05 at 11:49
| We have several sago palms and after a recent week of 117+ temps we fertilized/fed them. Well, one of them has all of a sudden nearly doubled in size with a beautiful new crown. However, it is in front of a window and is about to block the view. Can the top be trimmed?
Also, a couple of the pups have sprouted...can I plant these directly into my yard? Any tips?
Thanks! |

| On trimming-- you could certainly cut the leaves back, but if you cut the stem you'll probably kill it. Cycads don't re-sprout well when the growing tip of the stem is cut. Outside planting-- sago palms are borderline in zone 8. If you protect them from winter extremes they might do fine. Patrick Alexander |
