Leaning Palms of Katy


Question
I have 2 SAGO palms which are about 9 years old.  Fo over 7 1/2 years they grew straight as an arrow.  They both now seem to have begun to lean and grow directions which are obviously contrary to straight.  Should I worry or is there something I can do?  They are very healthy, just wish they were straight

Answer
Hey Steve, no, no worries, Sagos are known for that, they have a nice strong constitution, it would take a lot for them to break midstream; just enjoy the phenomenon but watch for aucalaspis scale, that is a concern should it show up, it looks like someone sprayed artificial snow on the undersides of the fronds.
