That was Wonderful! Really Great Man. It’s totally appreciated & more than rather refreshing to hear you speak on the quality of aesthetics as well as the symbiotic beneficial aspects of what these plants do for us in return for something as simple as paying a bit more attention to detail & actually giving a damn. Rather satisfying. Not to mention also enlighteningly informative as per their growth habit when actually trimmed/pruned/manicured, & overall cleaned up a bit… 🫡 MaD Respect to you Sir! 🥂-Cheers
I just trimmed an overgrown sago.Then I read you're not supposed to cut the green palms, but how else are you supposed to trim and shape it? It looks much better trimmed.
I have heard that if you want the trunk to move you leave some leaves on the side. But I can't remember which ones to prune. Like if you want it to turn left do leave the leaves on the right? Or visa- versa.
hey great video. ive been using the magnesium concentrate, that you mix with water to correct the yellow color of my plant. how many times a month should i water my sago palm?
I have a male sega palm which produces the pollen pod I have a female about 20 ft away from it but she doesn’t produce pups. My neighbor has to females no males and they have pups what’s up with that? lol
my sago has serious problem of leopard moth attacks for last three years , dont know what to do , have tried insecticide sprays too but they secretly lay eggs always .
I have 3 very large Sago Palms, one of the Palms is tall and wide whereby blocking a view of my front door creating a safety hazard. How do you properly control the growth of a Sago Palm.
Do you have that triangle tool that is like a saw on all 3 sides to separate the pups? I watched a video the other nite and I thought it was you. Please????
I've read coffee grounds help. I tried them out and it didn't seem to do much, but my dad works for a company and he sprayed my plants with some systemic stuff from Bayer that doesn't harm the plant, but kills scale. If you go to a nursery and tell them you need to get rid of scale on a cycad, they should be able to help.
Yes...treat with Bayer Advanced Tree and Shrub Protect and Feed. It is a systemic insecticide you pour around the plant. For an active infestation...apply the Tree and Shrub product, the plant absorbs the treatment through the roots and it kills the insects when they suck the plant juices. Then spray the leaves with Neem Oil once a week for three weeks. Then spray off the dead scale with a high pressure garden hose nozzle. Treat with Bayer Advanced at least one time per year. I do it in September and April.
Kinda crazy So I just got done doing my wife’s grandmothers house yard. So I start pruning her sego and I do the front half of it. So this lady comes out yelling at me cause she said I don’t know how to prune her sego. I’m a 33 year old person that has done plenty of yards in my time. Came across this video. I have to go show her. So she knows that I do know what I’m doing. This Sego is exactly like Hers same size. 🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️ poor sago only front half got done 😏
I accidentally trimmed the branches (by 1ft) when my wife usually prunes the whole branch from the stem. Now the branches are not growing back & looks like they’re dying. This plant is an outdoor planter in our dry dirt with sunlight but shaded all day. I live in Southern California where’s its hot & dry. HOW DO REVIVE THIS PLANT AND GET BACK BROWNIE POINTS FROM MY WIFE 😂 ~ Help!!!
You did way too much. I grew up around those plants in the tropics and if anything, you're overstressing it by cutting off the lush green leaves/fronds. Just let it be. It will be even more beautiful in its own natural pace of growth.
Gary Cooper, I agree with you, I have 8 or ten, I'll have to go outside and count them one day, Sago Palm, Have had them for Years.. They are all different ages and sizes. One has even Become a Mother. HAhaha, Yes, She has developed that Beautiful Golden Crown of "HAIR which means she is a FEMALE and is Producing SEEDS which if this man, Mr. Richard Daigle, would have realized he should have began collecting once the Plant had OPENED its SEED POD and BEFORE she BEGAN Producing MORE FRONDS AMONG HER BEAUTIFUL Mass of Golden Hair ! Hahahahaah, I know I sound like a Nut Job... Trust me, I am Not, But I do know a Few things about SAGOS... I have been raising them for more than 40 years !!!

Thanks for sharing this video. This will be my 1st time trimming my Sago. You were very descriptive! Following you!!
Just trimmed a few that had become overgrown in the front yard. They’re beautiful plants. Thanks for the video!
I just bought a house with several sago palms and plan on cleaning them up like you have here in your video. Thank you for filming and explaining!
+Collin MacAllister Very poisonous seeds fall off this guy. Kills dogs that are attracted to them.
Informative tutorial on trimming sago palm
Nothing like a fresh haircut 🤩✂️
I'm going to do that today, it's a beautiful plant and being in my front yard I definitely need to clean it up 🤠😊
awesome video, thank you. I got many answers to questions that I've had for a long time
Thanks, the plant looks very nice after trimming 👍🏻 I am going to trim mine as well 😊
Love this Video!!! Thanks for step by step explanation
Nice job Richard. I agree with your method of trimming.
Perfect. Gonna start this evening, when shade comes in. Thanks
Thank you, I have my first Sago, 3 yrs old, and had no idea how to trim it...
what do the seed pods on female sago's look like in VERY EARLY stage... I have pic, but don't think i can post
I like the look of a Sago Palm with a huge crown of leaves. I think they lack luster when you cut so many leaves off
Will this palm grow well near the Outer Banks of NC? -- Thanks great lesson in trimming the palm||
Thank you!❤

Thank you for sharing
I just bought and used an electric chainsaw and I was done in two minutes. It was huge too. $39 Harbor freight

Great Video. Thanks
hey great video. ive been using the magnesium concentrate, that you mix with water to correct the yellow color of my plant. how many times a month should i water my sago palm?
I have a question. Are you responding to questions?
Good question!! LOL
Love it !
Ive never seen Santa pruning a palm tree. Pretty cool
I have a male sega palm which produces the pollen pod I have a female about 20 ft away from it but she doesn’t produce pups. My neighbor has to females no males and they have pups what’s up with that? lol
My small chainsaw does great job of this.... A18yrs old it stands @ 1.2mtrs tall..
Great video. Does pruning make the palm taller?
my sago has serious problem of leopard moth attacks for last three years , dont know what to do , have tried insecticide sprays too but they secretly lay eggs always .
Thank you Sir perfect..

blocking a view of my front door creating a safety hazard. How do you properly control the growth of a Sago Palm.
You should tell what time of the year you do the different trimmings
Do you have that triangle tool that is like a saw on all 3 sides to separate the pups? I watched a video the other nite and I thought it was you. Please????
What if I pruned it now top leaves turning yellow and thr male cone on top is growing alot in a few days 🤔?
When in Pensacola FL is it best to trim down your sago and how many rows do you trim down?
Nice job. Do yours ever get white scale and if so how do you treat it?
I've read coffee grounds help. I tried them out and it didn't seem to do much, but my dad works for a company and he sprayed my plants with some systemic stuff from Bayer that doesn't harm the plant, but kills scale.

Is that how you get them to grow taller?
I'm a thril seeker LOL love it

I have two sago. The freeze in Ga turned them brown. Can I just prune the ferns and just hope it’s not dead?
Edward Hayes yes sir, next year cover them at night
They are fine if they freeze. Just cut off the fronds that turn brown in the spring.

I was told that Sago Palms are poisonous. Is this true? Can you get poisoned by pruning it or does it mean internal, by eating a part of it??
Cool Vid! I trimmed mine today! :)
thanks sir
Get your camera guy to focus the camera on the palm and not you.
Ok

How to take a healthy sago palm and make it look ugly and sick.
