I would just leave it for now and let the new leaf grow a little more. Make sure you give your palm lots of good warmth and fertilizer and it should recover if the center is not rotten.

Good luck!

If the fronds are brown they aren't doing anything for your plant--cut them off.--As posted above, it should eventually recover.

Thats the way my oldest pindo looked,all the fronds were totally brown.It's green in the center also.I agree with with njoasis,I cut all the old brown fronds off,and gave it a cup of epson salt atleast 1ft from the base of the trunk.I will give it a good palm fertilizer in a week or so.Dont cut the fronds to short to the trunk, they continue dieing(turning brown).When this happens then you can trim them as short as needed.Good luck

I would wait a month, and then cut and aviod cutting too close to the palm trunk.

It would be best to cover her next winter if she's not too large.

I am also in zone 9- San Antonio TX, and my 2 year old queen palm bit the dust. I am replacing with pindo palm. That way you get edible fruit too and way more cold hardy. As for my Canary Island date palm, I am leaving the brown fronds on in order to protect the green ones in the middle in case of a late freeze. For example, we are expecting 34 degrees Sunday night! If I were you I would wait just a bit longer as well before removing the fronds.

Hope that helps.
