I think I understand what you are saying, and I would just cut them off. They were probably damaged in some way by the winter. New fronds will easily cover their space and new fronds will follow those.

Good luck

Here is what it looks like, I drew a red circle around the frond in question:

What would cause this?

Boron deficiency.

Boron deficiency. Okay - so, what do you think I should do? Should I chop off the affected fronds?

Here is an interesting link about boron deficiency.

Here is a link that might be useful: Boron and Palms

I just looked at my trachycarpus and its doing the EXACT same thing!! I unfolded the oldest frond myself and it's all yellow inside. Is this really boron deficiency?? It had previously opened two fronds this year just fine.

wxman...you probably didnt give yours time to open. Yours look different than the one above. Leaves take time to open depending on the plant.

I agree- wx,your palms fine.

wxman, yours is just not ready to open yet. It's a new leaf and they will be a bit yellow if pried open. Just let it be and you'll be fine.

The other one is a different story, but as long as it's growing fine now and putting on new growth, I wouldn't worry too much about it.
