I printed out these photos and took to the local nursery. They gave
their stock answer.... they had no idea what it was but "you should
try this fertilizer..."



Well- you can tell by the frizzled fronds that the tree is malnourished- is
it regularly fed at all? Minerals too?
And add the base of the trunk to the equation and it spells trouble IMO.
