Sago Palm No New Growth: Cone Production or Pot-Bound

14-year-old sago grew center ball 3 years ago, never leafed out, orange ball-like pods fill center, no leaves for 3 years.

Assessment

Orange pods are likely male/female cones—normal reproduction. If in pot, may be root-bound. If leaves good color, not disease.

Action

Check pot soil volume. Visit nursery with issue—diseases not specialty. Cones are normal; leaf flush may follow cone maturity.
