Thank you for your quick responses and help. Now that you've confirmed that this IS a Sago palm, my next question, is it worth trying to dig this up for someone else to have? Ive just heard far too many horror stories with dogs, and as much as it hurts me to get rid of this, the dogs come first. Some websites say to cut with a chainsaw as close to the ground, and then pour herbicide on the roots and dig up in 2-3 weeks. Thank you
