Can Sago Palms stay small?

I love how sago palms look and I would love to have a couple. I've seen it a lot lately in my neighbourhood and the small ones are so cute, but the old big ones are just not my thing. My husband really wanted a couple of sago palms on our frontyard flower bed, but, eventhough they are slow grown trees, one day they will be huge palm trees in front of my house, which I don't want. I've seen some tiny little ones on small pots and I'm always wondering if they are a different specie that doesn't grown to be real trees. Or maybe only the fact to keep them in vases, can we stop the growing process to keep them small (like 2' tall max)?

Can Sago Palms stay small?
people like the sago as a bonsai. this is done by putting it in a pot. what you do is keep it in a medium pot that is the perfect size. then dig a hole in the place you want it outside and put the plant in it with the pot and all. bury the pot in the ground so it isnot notcable.





this will consideabely slow down the growth rate keeping it a small size for a long time.








good luck

Keeping them cramped up and root bound won't stop them from spreading out-they'll just be unhealthy and weak.


Pick another palm to plant there.
