Q My sister gave me several Sago palms, all are doing great except for the largest, the fronds are curling up. Is this normal or do I have a problem and if I do what can I do to correct it? Thanks you, and love your column. Judy

A: Check for insects on the undersides of fronds. Aphids can cause leaves to curl. Absent insects, if the leaves look healthy and green and get good sunshine. I would not worry about it. My Sago, which I believed showed no signs of life, just put up a new circle of fronds in mid-July. I could hardly believe my eyes.
