Sago hardiness

Question

Will a Sego come back after a hard freeze? We live in South Mississippi,usually mild. all the leaves were froze , I cut the leaves off just the trunk standing. thank you l

Answer 1

This is usually deadly for a sago. Cutting all of the leaves off is also not a good idea. I know it is almost instinct to do so, but it is best to wait until you see new growth to cut the leaves off.

This may not recover, but the only thing to do now is to wait and see if there is any new growth.
