  • Description

  • Notes

Sago Palm resembles small palms; it is evergreen. It can slowly grow to 10'. It is used for a tropical effect and also looks great in planters. In the low desert, light shade and additional moisture are best. Side sprouts can form multi-trunked individuals. Apply fertilizer at leaf expansion. This plant has few pests.
Hardy to 20f. Use balanced chemecal formula or organic food such as bonemeal or fish emulsion to strengthen plants against spider mites, scale, mealybugs, & aphids.
