Hi!
Gregory Palm Farms here!
WHY DO THEY CALL PALM SHOOTS, PUPS?
IF YOU ARE REFERRING TO PALM PUPS AND NOT THE BARKING KIND, WE CAN HELP!
IF YOU ARE REFERRING TO PALM PUPS, THEY ARE THE SMALL PALMS GROWING AT THE BASE OF THE SAGO PALMS OR DATE PALMS.
Some people love the fullness of the pups around the base of the Sago palm, as shown here.
Others, prefer to have all the pups removed at the time of installation revealing only a textured trunk.
Either way, these Sago Palms are a perfect addition to any landscape and can be a wonderful container palms as well. They are slow growing and have a rich green colored fronds.
Each of those "pups" or small shoots are actually palms. If you plant them, they will grow!
Neep assistance?
Gregory Palm Farms has that and more!
