Q.Frozen Sago Palm
The recent freezing weather in south Mississippi has made the top half of my six foot sago palm turn brown. Should I prune the top (damaged part) and leave the bottom layers that are still green? This beautiful plant is about 15 years old and I do not want to cause more harm to it.

Cold damage is a common occurrence with these plants, but oftentimes they can recover fine. This article should help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/environmental/tips-for-saving-cold-damaged-plants.htm
