Ahhh, you got it Stan. Nice pic.
I bought a small sago at the expo - I think from you! They are slow growing but beautiful. The hotel I stayed at had a huge one with seeds all over inside. Me & Joe picked a bunch. Guess I was there at the right time for seeds to produce! I read up on them...secret is to palnt seeds sideways instead of upright.

Thanks for the reply Patty, That sago at the corner of my house is probably a good 10 years old or better. They do grow slowly. The ones I had at the Expo were planted from seed a couple of years ago. I found an old kitchen sink and just filled it with soil. I placed the sago seed sideways all along the top of the soil, just barely pressed them down into it. I kept them under the shade of a pine tree during the hot summer months and in about 3 months, they started to germ. They didnt all germ at one time but were stretched out over a 2-3 month time frame. Hope your little sago is happy up there in the city!

Thanks for letting me know how long to expect for the seeds to sprout. Sago palms are my favorite. They are so pretty - they look 'fake'!
My little one is happy in the sunroom for now.
I have something to tell you Stan, but I'll post it in 'News' or 'potted citrus' (?)
