Types
There are several types of sago palms.
- King sago palm (Cycas revoluta) is the most commonly cultivated and grown of the sago palms. Arching fronds may be more than 3 feet long and form a rosette similar to a Boston fern. Shorter and more shrub-like, these are fantastic container plants in large urns.
- Queen sago (Cycas rumphii) is more tree-shaped with a single trunk that may eventually reach 20-30 feet tall. Individual fronds can be up to 8 feet long. They make an attractive, if slow-growing, growing shrub border.
- Queen sago palm (Cycas circinalis) is a short tree. It grows to a height of about 10 feet with a single trunk and a crown of leaves, looking more like a traditional, if shorter, palm tree.
