**BOLD_INTRO**: The majestic King Sago (Cycas revoluta) is a striking addition to any tropical garden in North Fort Myers. With its towering trunk and feathery fronds, this plant commands attention and provides unique shade.
The King Sago is native to Japan but thrives in North Fort Myers's subtropical climate (USDA Zone 10b). This slow-growing evergreen can reach up to 20 feet tall and 12 feet wide, making it an excellent choice for large landscapes. Its broad trunk and crown create a stunning visual impact.
