my sago has grown SEVEN heads this spring...

the pics are before its trim and after...
found eleven pups around its base/im going to dig them out, give them away.

how do you think this is gonna turn out?
should i be afraid?

That's a nice one.

If I remember correctly,then that's the one that's not a true palm.

thank you! i love him.
im in Central Florida...i know hes more than 29 years old.
he was already a foot tall when i moved in.

gonna sprinkle the epsoms today, greens him right up.

It’s lovely.

Your cat looks intrigued by it lol

you know how big the fuzzy center crown thing gets..
one takes up a lot of room as it swells up, unfurling the new velvet leaves and then laying those new fronds down as they get harder and greener.

is this going to turn out well?

Dear Neil: What is going on with our sago palm? It’s growing in this bizarre way with at least a dozen new heads. What should I do?

Answer: This is called “fasciation,” where cells divide in two planes instead of in all directions. You’re used to seeing it in the garden flower called cockscomb, and you may have noticed it on new growth of Texas mountain laurel. If you collect succulents, there are many euphorbias that develop this growth. It’s much less common with sago palms. My best advice is just to let it go ahead and play out. It will get more and more interesting, but it will end up destroying the plant.
