Sago Palm
Description:
Dioecious palm-like tree slowly forming hulking trunk to 10 feet or more high, usually solitary but sometimes branched, topped by a terminal crown of stiff, deep glossy green, feathery pinnate fronds 3 to 6 feet long. The leathery leaflets are spine-tipped and rolled down at margins: the petal-less flowers are in terminal clusters of brown-woolly carpels, in female trees containing the orange fruit, covering nut-like poisonous seeds.
