Leaves are glossy green,\u00a0<em>pinnately-compound<\/em>\u00a0and three to four feet long.\u00a0<em>Leaflets<\/em>\u00a0are stiff and dark green. This plant is\u00a0<em>dioecious<\/em>\u00a0with a cylindrical cone borne in the center of the male plant. The female plant doesn\u2019t produce a cone, but produces a round mass consisting of modified scale-like leaves. Orange-red seeds to two inches in diameter are produced between these scale-like leaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gardeningsolutions.ifas.ufl.edu\/images\/plantid\/ornamentals\/sago_plant.jpg\" alt=\"Sago palm in yard\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>UF\/IFAS<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gardeningsolutions.ifas.ufl.edu\/images\/plantid\/ornamentals\/sago_female_2.jpg\" alt=\"Female Sago palm\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Photo by Robert Kowal, University of Wisconsin<\/strong><br><strong>\u00a9 Wunderlin, R.
