This is not the picture I wanted to show but it'll do. The king sago in the front has many pups coming out which I want to let grow and make a bigger slash by my front door. I just noticed some white scale near the center and sprayed again with organicide but the base readon for the healthyness of this sago where others are dying is the coffee ground I pick up from my Starbucks latte place. That stuff seems to act as a systemic and keeps the plant green and healthy even if I dodn't spray regularly. The bismark was planted the week I bought this place in 2004 as a little baby plant. I took off most of the frost danage but some of the fronds still show damage.

So, I now have to go out and remove the grass around the sago and spread my coffee.
