Cycas Revoluta (Sago Palm)
Native to southern Japan the
Sago palm is not a palm but a
cycad. These are living fossils
which have evolved very little
for millions of years. They have beautiful dark green leaves. It
is one of our favorites here at
Cold Palms. The plants are cold
hardy in
zones 7 and above. At 25 deg.
F, their leaves are damaged
(they turn brown yellow and
white); however, they can be cut
and a new flush will emerge in
the spring (usually May in
zone
7).
