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.

About Us
During this time, we have developed a large stock of trees, mature evergreen shrubs, conifers, Japanese maples, cedars and olives. What sets us apart from a generic garden center is solid unwavering focus on trees and some bigger shrubs. You will find thousands of trees, hundreds of varieties and lots of experts who are working on the nursery and more than willing to help you to choose a plant for you.
What you will not find is hot tubs, garden furniture and plastic garden gnomes. In a nutshell, trees is what we know and trees is what we do, and only trees (and some shrubs to go with the trees).
