Posted by DVADAN I've read your site for years. No one here in Plano (N.of Dallas) has large sago's. I'm in love and fascinated with them. So much so that 8 years ago I brought 3 four foot sago's from south texas and transplanted them in my yard. I have babied them and they seem to love it and have thrived--they are now probably 6 feet or more. In the winter we can get hard freezes that last for days. At first a made temporary hot houses of sorts with heat lights. Later, I just wrapped with blankets and they survived except the leaves turned brown, I would cut them in the spring and they would flush and flourish. Unfortunately, last year, someone else lived in my home and there was a drought--at first I think the west facing sago didn't get enough water and later to compensate might have been watered too much. Anyway, it is late june and no flush has even tried to begin. It almost seems as if the top 2-3 foot of the plant is dead--there are seeds at the top which have been there a long time but what worries me is that if I try to pluck an old leaf base or any part of the top, it comes out very easily. However, the lower part of the sago is sprouting random small leaves out the trunk and base. Please help, what should I do??? I love my sago's. Thank you soo much!!! dvadan
