I would probably ask an aborist or an ISA Certified arborist which I know of only one in the villages. His company is Tree Frogger. My understanding is that in some of these nurseries around here the palms may have "issues" onsite and you won't know about it till a year later. At least try to educate yourself as what this scale looks like. I don't have a sago but I haven't heard anything negative about one either. Good luck...
