I just want to follow up to this by mentioning (only because many don't know), sago palms are poisonous to cats and dogs. I had to rip up about 6 in my yard because my dog wouldn't stay away. If I remember correctly, they can cause liver failure...but I don't remember for sure. I believe they might also be poisonous to humans too, but only when digested. So make sure you wear gloves and wash your hands. :)

Oppalm, Thanks for compliment on the CF Palm. I'm really lucky to still have it and the sago after nearly losing them both. I would say the Chinese palm gets partial shade most of the day. The strongest sunlight it gets is in the afternoon, since the palm is usually on the west side of the house. Are you familiar with David Francko's book, "Palms Won't Grow Here and other myths"? He has pictures in there of a CF palm he overwintered in Ohio. If I'm not mistaken, that's zone 6 or 6a. He says the leaves will die off, but the plant will come back in the spring. Just wondering if you had tried it. I've thought about it, but if the poor thing has to resprout every spring and start over, it would never reach any decent size.

Did you get help?

I’ve had this sago for about 5 months now and about 2 months ago a majority of the leaves became yellow and dry and I completely cut them. The two leaves remaining have been fine but are now starting to droop. Is it possible that new growth is coming through or is there an underlying issue
