Common name sago palm Family cycadaceae Life cycle evergreen shrub/tree (Z9-10) Flowers none Size 3-10' Light sun-part shade Cultural notes well drained soil Tropical cycad native to southern Japan. Probably not hardy even in our subtropical climate and better grown as a houseplant, but I planted it in our new back yard anyway, to see how it does. Mulch well and hope for the best. Meanwhile, its foliage (which is very prickly and gives me a rash, by the way) is very attractive, a nice deep green almost without blemish. If it does survive, we will see it grow very slowly, producing new leaves once a year.

In our garden, this plant grows in the following area: houston back yard
