Cycas revoluta, commonly known as the sago palm or king sago palm, is a species of palm tree native to Japan. It is widely cultivated in many parts of the world for its attractive appearance, hardiness, and ease of cultivation.

The sago palm has a distinctive, symmetrical crown of large, feathery fronds that grow up to 3 feet long and 6 inches wide. The fronds emerge from a central point at the top of a thick, woody trunk that can reach heights of up to 10 feet. The trunk is covered in a layer of rough, brown bark that gives the plant a rugged, natural look.

Cycas revoluta is a slow-growing plant that can live for many decades with proper care. It prefers bright, indirect light and well-draining soil that is kept evenly moist but not waterlogged. The sago palm is also tolerant of a wide range of temperatures, making it an ideal choice for growing indoors or outdoors in areas with mild climates.

In addition to its ornamental value, the sago palm has a long history of medicinal and culinary use in Japan and other parts of Asia. However, it should be noted that the seeds and other parts of the plant contain a toxic compound that can be harmful if ingested, so caution should be exercised when handling the plant.
