Pruning Sago Palm

Question

I have a sago palm by my front door, and it is getting awfully big. Is it possible to ‘top’ the palm?

Answer 1

It is generally nor recommended that you prune sago palms for height as this will most likely kill the plant. Sago palms do not respond well to pruning. I am afraid there is not much that can be done to reduce their size. Here is an article that you may find helpful: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/trees/sago-palm/prune-sago-palm.htm
