I don't like to prune mine I like the full look They seem to get rid of old leaves by themselves my friend says no one grows them like this but I really like them
From my own experience, I would suggest not only gloves and long sleeves, but also eye goggles because I had to rush to urgent care once after poking my eye with a palm leaf :) Thank you for very informative videos.
Pruning sago palms should never be excessive. Only remove completely dead, badly damaged, or diseased foliage. If desired, the fruit and flower stalks can be pruned as well. In addition to decreasing growth, cutting the green fronds can weaken the plant, making it more susceptible to pests and diseases.
Thank you for all this information! I am from the North but I moved to Texas and I have a King Sago at my house. I am learning to take care of him. I'm going to be transplanting him because we are moving to a new home and I'd like to take him with me. But this new house has a small yard. I see how close this one is planted to this house. Can they be planted that close to a house? It seems like it doesn't have a problem.
Hola José Ávila, tengo una pregunta. es verdad que los hijuelos de la cyca revoluta hembra o macho siempre son hembras? Ojalá y me ayudes con esta duda gracias. ..
Wow, never new there was an association. Guess that's how you guys took the industry away from the Asians. Good going amigo. J/K. Good video. Thanks for posting. I have several of these in my back yard that got damaged by the uncommonly cold winter here in Houston. A bizarre follow-up to the Harvey impact. Anyway, lots of brown spots on the leaves and complete brown leaves on them that need to be removed. Now I've got to go look for one of those curved serrated knives. Never seen that one before. Appears to be a "Japanese Sickle", which is kind of ironic after my earlier statement. LOL. Thanks again. A good video with useful information is what RU-vid is supposed to be used for. And I will continue to contribute to the association that I never even knew existed. :)
My palm tree froze this winter we had snow which is unsual for Louisiana. I am in the process of cutting all of the dead branches off do you think it will come back
Thanks for your video. Will pruning it like that make it grow upward faster? Also, we have a big problem with white scale on the top of the tree and the leaves , but don't want to use any toxic chemicals. I used castile soap and water on it which isn't sufficient. What do you recommend that won't hurt the lizards and frogs that live in it? Thank you =)
my neighbor has a large sago on his front walk. it has 4 "branches" of about 8 inches in diameter. Can I harvest these by using a pruning saw cutting close to the main plant? It also has smaller pups at the base which I intend harvesting as well. Thanks in advance.
Would this be the same procedure for an indoor sago palm? I got one the other day on sale because it is unhealthy. The tips of the leaves are all brown and has 2 layers of leaves. Not very big maybe a ft1/2 tall. I feel bad for dying plants an want to see if I can save them. If there is any advise you can give would be appreciated. Oh it also came in a none drainage pot with rocks on top that appear to be glued in place.
el creé que cortandole las hojas asi va a crecer más rapido, todo lo contrario, lo que esta haciendo es quitandole a la planta los receptaculos para cojer el sol y la fuerza de la planta.
I live in the Florida panhandle and we see tons of these plants. They are an absolute nightmare and even worse, they don't look one bit attractive. Do yourself a favor and get rid of them if you have them and whatever you do, DON'T PLANT THEM!
