Product Details
Sago Palm (Cycas revoluta) is not a true palm, but a cycad, an ancient type of plant that pre-dates dinosaurs. It is a popular ornamental plant native to Japan and China, known for its palm-like appearance with feathery leaves and a sturdy trunk. Despite its resemblance to palms, sago palms are more closely related to pine trees.
Key characteristics:
- Sago palms have a rosette of shiny, arching, pinnate leaves atop a rugged trunk. The leaves are divided into narrow, leathery, spiny-tipped leaflets.
- They are slow-growing, reaching a height and spread of 3-10 feet (0.9-3 meters).
- They are hardy in USDA zones 9-11 and can tolerate temperatures down to 15-20°F (-6 to -9°C) for short periods.
- Sago palms are long-lived, with some plants living up to 100 years.
- They are popular ornamental plants, used for landscaping and as houseplants.
- They have separate male and female plants, requiring cross-pollination for seed production.
- They prefer well-drained soil, partial to bright sunlight, and protection from strong winds.
