The Cycas revoluta, more commonly known as the king sago palm is a gymnosperm conifer, and is not actually a palm, but rather a cycad. The sago originated in Japan, and dominated the landscape in the Mesozoic era. The sago is a great addition to any landscape type, and can be a lucrative plant if you are a patient cultivator. Although the sago’s growth is slow, it can grow over 12 feet tall taking up to 50 years. The sago strives in areas of warm to tropical temperatures with high rain fall in full sun or partial shade. It should be planted in an area of good drainage and in soil with little alkaline content.
