Phoenix canariensis (Canary Island date palm)

That's what I thought but wanted to make sure, thanks a lot.

We have one and we are having a serious problem with it. We have been told various diseases, but I think it has Texas Pheonix palm disease. Where do you live in Florida?

I live in Lee County

We are in Pinellas. This disease is new to our area so I am not sure if anyone really knows what they are talking about. One tree guy said it has Fusiarium Wilt, which I dont believe is true.

That's a tough one to prove, you have to dig down to one of the roots close to the trunk and slice it open.

She's a beauty. Nice looking CIDP

I doubt the spade could break the top layer of soil. THis palm has been here for 15 years. I didnt read anything about checking the roots. Everything talks about sending the rachis and petiole to the University for a fee of $75. Which disease would I notice a problem with the roots? I highly doubt I could get to one, but I could have my husband try. I am considering the antibiotic treatment....where we do it ourselves.
