Tom,
I have a quite large and mature sago that for the last 8-9 years has always put out 1 healthy flush per year (Southern Calif., San Diego), but this year it put out a sort of soft and fluffy "cone" where the flush usually comes up. Of course I know that the sago is actually coniferous, but this took me by surprise, since it had never happened before. My questions are: Does this indicate the sex of my tree? Will it ever put out a "flush" of new leaves again? How often should I expect the "cone"? Is there anything I should do special for the tree now? In previous years, when the new flush would come up, I would prune back the previous year's leaves, leaving only the new leaves, which never seemed to harm the tree and kept it looking very nice. Of all the plants in my garden, I enjoy my sagos the most by far. Thanks for your comments!
