White spots on Sago palms


Question
I have what appears to be a white scaly type of fungus on my Sagos' and now the fronds are yellowing. We have only had these since spring and I'm afraid I'm about to lose them. Please help me Save The Sagos.

Answer
Hi Harold... To the best of my knowledge, there is a new disease out that eventually will kill all sago's and there is nothing to date to stop it.  Even before this disease, which came in with the hurricanes, sagos are notorious for problems.  You may try an oil spray to suffocate the critters, scrape them off and apply an oil spray and keep a close check on it.  For an alternative approach try Neem spray....kathy
