I could have snapped a pic, but I'm 90 miles from home today, maybe when I get back? Yes, I'm sure it's not the biggest I've seen, but still, it's a good one, vigorous, trunk diameter is at least 14". But, it's growing on the side of a hill, under a canopy from an oak and it doesn't get the direct sun they like. Therefore, I only get the long pollinating thingie followed by a single flush every year. The tallest, largest sago I can ever remember seeing is in Honolulu, Waikiki right in front of the Red Lobster Restaurant. It's in the middle of town, not hard to find and worth checking out. But, I think it's twice the size of mine, in height? When I get back home, if I don't forget, (visiting girlfriend right now) I will try and post a photo. El Bee

http://chumleycycads.com/index.html I just ordered from him yesterday. Tell him that Wes White in Topeka told you about him. He has been doing this for almost 20 years now. He specializes in just the thing you are looking for and also will sell you the trees at a cheaper price than anybody. I ordered a Guizhouensis / Taitungensis cross that he makes. The Caudex is softball size and is letting me have it for $25. Thats just ONE example of his prices. Just tell him Wes White from Topeka told you about him.

Your posting offers no information on the conditions your plant is experiencing. But I will put it succinctly. Cycas revoluta is not a good "houseplant". They want to be outside. They prefer a subtropical Winter (cool even chilly temperatures but protection from hard frost) and long, warm to hot subtropical summers. Slight to moderate frosts are not a problem for them btw. They want a well-drained soil with plentiful moisture in the Summer growth season. They grow seasonally. So typically they will show a growth spurt from Spring into Summer (assuming they are summering outside). In my zone, they will push one growth spurt per season (so maybe up to 20 new leaves will develop in a season). In Florida, they can push two growth spurts. Mine get wheeled out in early Spring (March) then wheeled into a sheltered area before a harder frost (December). So, March through November they are outside, basically, in full sun with maybe a bit of protection from the hottest sun. Indoors, there is not sufficient sun for the foliage to mature and growth indoors is actually deformed. Mine are kept cold enough in the Winter months to inhibit growth. The cold temps also reduce problems with scale and mealy bugs with this species. Sorry I can't be more optimistic. I have other species of cycads but these too don't get into the house. Maybe someone might suggest a species or genus of cycad more tolerant of home conditions. I happen to really like Dioon but don't know how they would do in an average home.Good luck!

I ( the OP) have moved 2 sagos and they died. They were growing in rocky soil. I dug them up and moved them and immediately planted them. I probably immediately watered them which might have started rot in the broken bruised roots. I can not remember whether I cut the leaves off or not. It was several yeaRS AGO, maybe 12 years.. Do you let the plants callous their roots before replanting by waiting a couple of days before replanting like one does with succulents? do you uses a fungicide like cinnamon on the roots. What time of year is best to move them ? Should I clip the leaves off ? Does that let them rest by not having to supply nutrients of does it deny chlorophyl and stored energy and put it in added stress. How do you "Treat" the larger roots? On the siting for the Panzi in partial shade is because That is where I have dirt. otherwise there is no top soil , just caliche and limestone marl.
