Syagrus romanzoffiana & Cycas revoluta

The top and bottom pictures are of cycads and not palms....though they are called Sago palms. All parts are toxic to dogs.

Can't tell what the middle palm is, though most fruit of palms is edible. Hopefully, someone will recognize the plant.....could you take improved images of the fronds?

What is your general location?

The one with the cone-like thing is a cycad rather than a palm and they are considered quite toxic to dogs. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable about palms can help with the other.

FWIW, a great many plants are toxic to our pets (and to ourselves) if ingested but usually that is of little concern once the pet has graduated out of the puppy-chewing-everything stage. Or unless the plant is grown as a houseplant and then becomes entertainment for a bored, housebound pet.

Hi everyone, you all are so smart with these palms/plants. Thank you for the quick response. I do believe the tall palm is a Queen Palm. Its that sago palm that worries me. My dog is 13...so we thankfully have conquered the "greeting at the door with the entire plant in her mouth" phase. But this sago palm makes me nervous. We're in Central California. I don't understand why landscapers put plants in that are poisonous to pets...I suppose now I need to figure out how to get it removed.

Thank you all so very much for the information. At least now I know & can figure out a plan.

Just google sago palm. http://www.petmd.com/dog/conditions/poisoning-toxicity/c_dg_sago_palm_toxicity%20

You might see if someone wants to come and get it for free. They get planted a lot, because they are pretty. You even see them a lot in North Alabama in a small size for house plants??????????? I would take it out for sure since you have a dog that has nibbled before. This is not one to mess around with.

The first photo (the Cycas) illustrates a male cone. That plant is a male. There will be no seeds from a male plant if the seeds are what you are worried about. Cycas are dioecious. There are male plants and female plants.

Queen palm seeds make quite a stinky mess that attracts flies and rats. Best thing to do is to have the flower cluster cut off as the seeds are forming but before they drop and rot.

Yes, Rhizo_1 - you are definitely correct! I think I'll figure out some kind of garden fencing to put around it - less expensive and more importantly, it will not hurt the tree. Here in California, we are impacted by a bark beetle problem - killing millions of pines/trees in the Sierras. What a tragedy it is for our environment.

Thanks everyone for the input.

Since they are now overhanging the walk, having the fronds cut back - which is unattractive - maybe saw the Sago palms off at the ground anyway. Or give them to someone who will come and dig them up, haul them away, re-plant elsewhere.
