Not a true palm despite its name, the Sago Palm is a popular choice for front-yard landscaping due to its small stature and deep green crown of fronds.

Soil: Sago Palms are not picky about soil, but ideally they should be planted in a sandy soil that is slightly acidic.

Growth Rate: Slow

Temperature: Hardy to 20 F. Heavy frost damage can be lethal.

Pruning: Only remove fully dead fronds.

Toxicity: Highly toxic to pets and people.

Tips: Due to spines, wear gloves when handling. Sago Palm can also be grown as a houseplant!
