Anybody out there know if I pull up my Sago Palm here in FL. to move it with us to Charlotte, NC., will it survive ok up there? Or are the winters too cold up there? Remember.... Sago Palms are not true palms.
Landscape/Gardening Question?
Find out the zone, I know they're good to 20F, there's some here in town that are outdoors and we're zone 7a.
Reply:Yeah, it's actually a cycad.
they usually do best in more temperate climates, where it gets warmer summers. they're fine in the cold, but not for extended periods of time.
like she said, get the information on zoning requirements either from the sunset western garden book, or just online...and it'll tell you for sure.
Reply:if you do not keep it covered, and warm, it will die. sagos are hearty but it is used to FL, not NC. break it in to the new climate gently. good luck
Reply:how big is your sago?... here in Atlanta they are commonly used as houseplants but on a cold night tonight where its raining and freezing... chances are it will not survive....though i have heard of them dropping all of there "leaves" and still surviving.... i would not chance it... your best bet would be to leave it happy where it is in FL and get another one as a houseplant when you move...
