KING SAGO SEED HARVEST 

There are a few sago palms trees on the front of my house. Once I collected the seeds from a female flower and threw them into the water and all floated. THE FEMALE FLOWER WAS NOT POLLINATED. Last year a female palm blossomed at my friends and a boy at my place. I collected the pollen from boy and spilled on the female flower. We collected over 200 seeds and only 5 floated. Because was winter in Sydney I planted only 100 seeds following instructions from this video. Today after 8 months 82 have roots. This year on the front of my house male palm bloomed again next to female flower. Pollination was exceptionally easy this time.

You are very informative, clear and precise. I appreciate that you have taken the time to share information with all of us about this interesting plant. Thank you!

Great video, sir!! You got yourself a new fan! Thank you!

Great Video, I grow lots of Cycads.., (a couple of hundred a year) all from "pups". Only recently had the opportunity to harvest seed.., looking forward to see how many grow. Cheers

Thanks for the video. My husband and I learned a lot. We live in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. We have 3 HUGE Sago palms. The female has the big "seed pocket" and we were wondering what it was. Your video was great!

Marius, Thank you so much for your wonderful video. I live in Australia and until I found this web page I had no idea what I had in my backyard. I have a King Sego Palm, 3 actually. And I didnt know what the heck those red things in the middle were. After watching your video I immediatly went outside and cleaned the plant up..I must have had over 200 seeds. They were dried out & old because they were left too long Im sure..anyway..thank you so much for helping me..I will keep watching. Helena

Very informative. Thanks.

Excellent. Thank you!

thank you so much. this was awesome. my sago plant creeps me out. with the cones...uugh.. will the cone fall off by itself?

I'm in North Florida. Will your recommendations work just as well in my area? Do you have any additional resources/books/videos, etc. that I could reference? Thank you for the info.

my female bloomed in june and now its mid november and the flower is opening up and seeds are easily removed..do i need to wait until january to remove all the seeds? i am in south texas san antonio area

What a great video ! Thanks so much for placing on RU-vid. I have a dog and I was worried how to proceed on removal with out hurting the plant.

thank you I have 6 seeds I pulled off to plant. great job

I loved the information!

I chopped the top off mine when I removed the bulb with seeds. Including the new leaves. I didn't know how they were new leaves . I pruned it all flat. What should I do now? Did I damage it?

thank you so much. I bought two of these when I moved into this house about 12 years ago. Planted them about 4 feet apart (plants were about 18') near the A/C unit. One of them is about twice as big as the other -(now I know it is a female). Is that normal? You have just let me know that my larger plant is a female ( I have NEVER seen the female "cone" before) And my Male plant has 2 cones and a cone that I took off that was dead. Thank you so much. And I need to add that I completely appreciate the information on these being poisonous for dogs.

Excellent presentation. I'm in Los Angeles with at least two 7 foot Sago's seeding right now. Thanks

Wow, thats a big sago palm tree!

Thank you for your video - I just moved into a house that has a mature female sago in the yard. The gardner butchered it by removing all the palm fronds except the top row making it look like a palm tree - how long do you think it will take to fill back in with more fronds? I am so bummed and it looks terrible

can I use cutting powder to the bottom of sago bulbs???

Awesome video, Marius! We have 3 50 year old King Sagos (all female) in front of our Las Vegas, Nevada home (HOT) and one of these Gals is around 8-9 feet tall...she seeds every year. I NEVER knew about harvesting the seeds or how to know if they're viable or not. Well Done!

Thanks, great info! Very helpful video.

Thanks Marius! very well explained :)

Marius, I also wanted to ask..They are all sprouting pups is the term I was told..can a plant have to many of them attached to it. Do I need to do something with them? Thank You..Helena

Thank you very much

Really helpful! Thanks

Thanks

My large cycad produced a flower, then stopped progressing about 5 weeks ago. Should I open it up and remove the flower petals and leave the stems in the center?

Very good , thank you

Your camera was out of focus. Also if planting a harvested pup should the fonds be cut off? Please respond asap I have several to plant.

Was this flower pollinated? Thanks

thank you

Good video made.

please i have plant and now alredy got fruit. I dont know what that work? please can you tell me its all seeds can use for what?

Great video. Cycads are amazing.

what happens if you don't remove the seeds? How do you safely get the pups off. I have one hat is massive and we haven cut the pups off for awhile.

Aren't cycads weird?! That's what makes them interesting to me. Mine are getting bigger, some might be able to produce soon. I have about a dozen Emperor sagos and some other weird species. But I plan to move to the Brenham area where there is dirt and less deer! Bedrock all over the place here in the Austin area, I need dirt. I have some in pots but I'm going to have to dig some up also. Thanks for the vid.

Subur sekali pohonnya, sampai berbiji pula, dikasih pupuk apa, saya beberapa kali beli cycas selalu mati soalnya ada hamanya, dikasih pupuk apa ya?

Thank you for your great videos. How do I know when it is the right time to remove the seeds? I have a large female plant in my yard. I have successfully planted a few seeds in the past two cycles. My neighbor has a male plant, so it flowers regularly. I live in Houston. You say mid to end of January to harvest. She is in full bloom now since beginning of December I guess. I love these plants. They are so easy to take care of since they need little care. She has lots of seeds and I'd like to take advantage but want to do it at the right time. Can you advise?

You are amazing!!

I gather the little one I bought at the garden center is female and WOW I dont to grow them for profit just like to leave it for my son and kids as a history plants a male and a female he was shocked when I showed him your videos and he to me he would be old also when it bloomed I am 70 so I will never know. I wish I had a male seed just to make sure he has one of each. I was told I more than likely have a female plant if not bought from a grower. Bless you.

is there a time of year best to trim back, to de-seed, to plant? I live in Houston and these hearty cycads appear to do well despite drought and freezes. I have also read their seeds are poisonous but nothing is said about this - for humans and pets - is this a concern? thanks for any information.

Wow thanks

Thank you buddy great video you rock!!!

WHAT DO YOU DO WITH THE FLOWERETS! THAT THE SEEDS ARE IN, I WANT TO TAKE IT OFF OF MY PLANT, DO I HAVE TO WAIT, I DO NOT NEED ANY MORE SEEDS......THANKS 9-23-20

I'm transplant my sago palm it's about 4' feet lucks like if going to die i put wather every day what I have to be doing

You are awesome all these years later! I gathered some seeds from a plant I saw beside a bank where I was staying in South ALABAMA. First I saw the male plant and sent a pic to my Sister. She looked it up and it was a male she said there has to be a male and female present to create seeds. Of course I went and looked and found 2 'layers' where the female had produced seeds. I took from both layers. I plan on following your advice on how to clean, store and plant them. Thank you. I hope that I hit the payload. NOBODY even knows what is happening here. They paid a landscaper ,I feel sure ,to plant them but nobody has harvested the seeds. I hope I got some good ones. Does size matter when gathering the seeds? I got a few small ones and some that looked 'moldy'? Thank you and please do not go away.

I have 4 sago plants in my garden and it's time Fr harvest I don't know what to do I came here looking Fr a RU-vid video... thanks sir from India NE

Please make more videos!

I have 2 male palms in the backyard w/1 flower ea and both I think kinda dried. But as I shake them, there's still some pollen dropping down more like dust. Then I have 2 female palms in the front yard with their flower already closed. Question is, how do I know if the seeds has been naturally pollinated and how do I know the seeds will be viable? Since the female flowers are already closed, is it too late to cut off the male flower and pollinate the female flower myself? Thank you.

What happens if I leave the seeds in the plant.

Very good video! Thanks

Wouldnt this be a queen sago?

I got a seedling from this wonderful plant: How do you know if it's male or female?

Good

My Sago has all these other Sago’s growing off the bottom of it, can I take them off and plant them?

Great stuff🤗 How do I know if I've got a male plant or a female?

Male sagos grow a cone like figure on the top and females like his grow a flat structure

we got cycad in the pilipines

Go to 6:29 and watch. There he tells you how to determine if they are viable (fertile) and will grow.

2021 🙂

Why wearing glowes? Texted version could be good. I harvest mine today. I have som "BIG" males too.

It is male or female

Light coming through because it's already thinning out., just trying to give you some constructive criticism

Halin man lng ni sa duta nga gintambak di
