    Typically it would be ok to fertilize with this kind of fertilizer, but this sounds like too much was used. It should be heavily diluted before feeding.

    You can attempt a flush with PURE citric acid. I always try and find lab grade. (It is the powdered crystals that are used with sour gummy candies.) Mix a tablespoon in water and water that through. After use two complete waterings with regular water to flush that out.

    Then apply a little dolomitic lime, and wettable sulfur. Make sure that your container is well draining, and your planting mix doesn't retain water.

    They should be allowed to dry out almost completely between waterings after this.

    You can do this once the weather warms back up. I wouldn't touch it much until then, as it may do further damage. Here is an article for sago palm care: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/trees/sago-palm/how-to-care-for-sago-palms.htm

    You will want to wait until warmer weather returns. Only cut off dead growth when you see signs of new growth. After this, you may cut the dead growth off. Just snip them with something clean, or cut them with a clean knife.

    There is a great chance that it has been killed. The only thing that you can do right now is wait until you see new growth. Once that happens, you may start cutting the dead growth a few fronds at a time per day. If you do not see any new growth in the next two months, then it is more than likely dead.

    In the future, try and wrap any sensitive trees in burlap or cloth to prevent freezing on the colder nights.

    There is not much to be done, unfortunately. You will have to wait and see if new growth come back before you take the dead growth off. If it gets that cold again, you will need to cover it with burlap, or some kind of blanket on those nights.

    Sometimes they will be reluctant to root. You can keep them around until they die off. There is still a chance that they may root.
