Identifying and Propagating a Sago Palm Seed Pod

An Ohio homeowner has two potted Sago palms (Cycas revoluta) overwintered in a greenhouse. One developed a large cylindrical formation at the center where fronds emerge. They ask if it's a seed pod and how to propagate.

The formation is likely a seed pod on a female plant if pollinated. A Rhapis Gardens link details sex identification and seed propagation. YouTube has germination tutorials. Sagos are dioecious; both male and female needed for viable seeds.
