A really interesting thing about palm trees is the many different shapes of the fronds, trunks, and fruits. A Sago Palm doesn't get very tall and the trunk slowly grows outward increasing more so in girth than in height. This makes the Sago Palm a good indoor bonsai tree whose size can be controlled by pruning the roots to fit a small pot. The pot in the photograph is 6" tall and 6" in diameter and will be adequate for this bonsai for several years. Sago Palms propagate by growing 'pups' near the base of the trunk. When they have sufficiently developed, they can be removed from the "Mama" trunk and planted in their own pots... almost like giving birth...to your Sago Palm indoor bonsai tree family...
