King Sago
My Sago palms seeds have finally germinated. I acquired some seeds last winter and after 6 months they have finally germinated and are starting to grow. I had no idea they would take this long to germinate however I am finding out some tropical plant species take considerable time in germination of their seeds.

Cycad seeds are subject to a holding period to allow the embryo to fully develop. Cycas revoluta seeds from last year would be ready to plant in May/June.
With seeds ready to go, it usually takes 1 - 2 months for germination, then another month for the first frond.
