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.

Thanks, it gets the same fertilizer as the rest of the yard/trees -
10-10-10 spring and fall -- or whatever is on the bag. All the other
trees in the yard - fruit, pines - are doing great. But as you can
tell I know nothing about palm trees. Interestingly I was talking to
the next door neighbor about this one. He told me it has looked that
way 15 years ago before I was there.

Will post again when I find out something for the benefit of other
folks.

PS - I'm surprised that there is not a website somewhere with photos
of palm conditions. This must be a common question for the rest of
the suckers out there who have these *useless* non-native trees.
