Dying palm tree

20 years ago

Our dying palm tree is on the edge of the intracoastal and the 2004 hurricanes must have knocked it backwards leaving some of the roots exposed, but it has been surviviing and my DH is trying to build a wall around it to protect it with old concrete blocks etc. But after all this time it looks as though it is taking a turn for the worse. It does however still have some green branches on top so we have some hope.

Does anyone have any advice on how we can keep it alive?

Fill in the exposed root area with soil and give it some superthrive. This palm can't be in Ohio?

You are right it isn't in Ohio - it's in Florida and I have just ordered some superthrive tree saver which was recommended by someone on another site. I really hope it works.

I'm just amazed that you get the effects from hurricanes in Ohio! Us Houston/Galveston and other coastal city folks I guess forget about them after the pass through!!
