I purchased my house about 5 yrs ago and luckily the previous owner had several sego palms already planted for us. Some of the plants are quite large and I'd consider them to be around 200 yrs old or so (comparing to the plant on the website). Last year we had a local landscaper trim some of the offsets and also fertilizing them as well. He noticed that on my largest of our segos we were getting brown leaves that originate from the inside of the leave to the outside. The outside of the leaves remains green and the affliction seems to get better toward the end of the leaf. I read your webpage with that described the brown new flush and it does look similar to our plant but like I said, only the inside of the leaves on the new flush are turning brown (I estimate that the new flush was around 3-5 weeks ago). So, with what I have described, does this sound like the element deficiency that you mention in your article?
Also, where can I buy Manganese Sulfate and Iron Sulfate? Lowes?
Many thanks in advance and was very happy to see you website that has such great info on these wonderfult plants
