Fun Facts
Despite its name, the sago palm is not a palm, but is a cycad.  Cycads have changed very little in the last 200 million years.  Their durability and indestructibility is legendary.  They not only out lived the dinosaurs, but can often survive adverse conditions of nature and the neglectful gardener.
