Default Re: A different sort of sago problem...

Either you can pollinate the plant, or allow it to abort, but please don't cut off the flower. This confuses the plant and could cause harm to the entire plant. [I've done it before] And with the age of your plant, you can't take any chances. Revoluta's longevity ,at best, is the same as most human's life span, so yours is like a 75 yr. old person, treat her with some respect. Other cycads live to be well over 1,000 yrs old...........not revoluta and some other cycas. Robert Chumley
