sago palmThe sago palm (Cycas revoluta), also known as the king sago, is a hardy, slow-growing plant prized for its symmetrical crown of glossy, deep green fronds. Despite its name, it is not a true palm but a cycad, an ancient group of plants more closely related to conifers like pine trees. Often called a "living fossil," this prehistoric plant has remained largely unchanged for over 200 million years.
