Sago Palm Damage From Below Freezing Weather

Question

The sago palms planted around our yard have yellow and brown fronds after several nights of below freezing weather here in the South earlier this January. Are the plants dead? Should we prune the yellow and/or brown fronds?

Answer 1

If the stems are alive, they have a chance of recovering. Do not prune them until spring comes. These articles will help:
