Question
I live in SC  I have two small Sago Palms.  Through the winter the fonds all turn brown.  Is there a way to protect them from the weather or is this normal and should I cut all the brown fonds off in the spring?

Answer
Hi Anne, they are reacting to cold stress, if they are small enough, cover them with a "frost cloth" when a frost or light freeze threatens, this should alleviate the problem; if they were in containers, then you could just move them under cover when cold threatens. Nick
