Is there a way to keep sago palms from growing taller?

Question

I have two sago palms in front of the front windows of my house. I don’t want them to grow tall enough to cover the windows and block my view. One is a male that has grown a cone this year. The other sprouted lots of new leaves. Our house is only 4 years old, but the landscapers must have planted quite mature sagos. Is there a way to control growth? They are currently about 3 feet tall and at least 4 feet in diameter.

Answer 1

While you can't really prevent it from growing, you can prune it back to keep its growth under control. Here is an article that you may find helpful: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/trees/sago-palm/prune-sago-palm.htm
