PLEASE be aware there are TWO types of plants commonly
referred to a " SAGO PALMS "
ONE is lovely and is NON- Toxic to Animals and Humans.
.......This is the "METROXYLON" and IS a PALM.
......HOWEVER....
The OTHER is a LOOK-ALIKE . It is Really a "Cycas Revoluta".
This IMPOSTER is acrually A "CYCAD"...and NOT really a Palm.
It is Commonly referred to as a KING SAGO. (at Home Depot, Lowes etc.)
THIS "KING SAGO" IS TOXIC TO ANIMALS AND HUMANS.
Be VERY Careful as to which one You are getting.
