Q.Frozen Limbs of Sagos
My sagos were damaged during the cold winter here in Pensacola, FL. Lots of the limbs are brown now. How do I prune these plants safely?

You will need to remove the yellow and brown fronds this spring but only those as they will not come back. Do not remove green fronds. These articles will help you as well:

It is hard to say how well they will grow back. Sago palms do not deal well with lost fronds, but they have been known to recover fine.
