Adversity can cause increased seed production, too. Environmental stress can alert a tree to put more seeds in each fruit because there is less chance of survival. Make sure your tree is fed and watered adequately. Q. I wish to move some large sagos. A. Sagos can be moved now as long as you protect the plant from extreme cold.
Some people leave only one ring of growth on their sagos while others prefer a fuller crown.
You can do some pruning as long as one to two layers of growth are left. If the plant goes into transplant shock, leaves will brown from the bottom first and you can remove them as needed. Sagos have fat roots that do not cling well to soil, so when you move them, the roots are often ripped away with the soil of the root ball. Dig the sago and before removing it from the hole work a tarp under it to create a sling which supports the root ball from the bottom. Once this is in place you can drag the plant to its new home.
