Before flowering plants emerged, the seed-bearing plant world was dominated by gymnosperms, which have cone-like structures instead of flowers and include pine trees, sago palms and ginkgos.
Sago serves as a natural social forest where exploitation of sago palms are undertaken through clan socio-cultural obligation wherein ownership issues are merely acknowledged through oral tradition, by passing history of sago palm management from one generation to the next by word of mouth.
Sago Palms are one of the simplest plants to grow, whether indoors or out, no matter your level of gardening expertise.
