Doesnt look too good, sorry. Another pic?

Hi Teemon. Do you mean the pic or the palm doesn't look good? I'm trying to upload another pic. Sure hope there's something we can do to save this palm! Thanks!

im sorry
but Absolutely not, that palm has probably been dead for a while.

Looks grim. Tug a little on the green frond, if it doesnt pull right out, you can pray. Sorry.

Thanks for your candor, Folks. It's sad news, but sort-of what were thinking. Teemon, I pulled on the green fond and it didn't pull right out - even when I pulled pretty hard. Is there any chance? I've read that epsom salts might help? I'll get some nutrients tomorrow and try to nurse this baby back to health if there's any chance. I just don't know what it needs at this point. Not even sure why it went south b/c our other palms are all right. Any thoughts would be welcome and greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Looks like a very unhappy rhopie. Treat it with daconil. Pour it down where emerging spear should be. Never hurts to try.

Thanks, Joe_OC! We'll try daconil - as you said, it can't hurt. My wife says that ants caused this, but I don't see ants there (now). Should we feed & water it? If so, is there a particular nutrient mix that's best? Happy Holidays!

There is a good chance it's dead, but I cant say that I have never seen a palm like this not come back from the dead. With good care, depending on what caused it to get like this and how long it's been like this, there might be a slight chance you can bring it back. Cut off the dead fronds and keep an eye on any greenery pushing up from the center. If nothing happens by spring, then you will probably have to replace it with a new one.
Good luck! I hope it pulls through, it looks like it was once a nice palm!

Post your pics on www.palmtalk.org. It is the palm forum for the International Palm Society. There are lots of people from San Diego there. Very knowledgeable people who can answer your questions.

HTH's,

How long has it been there?

It may b e a root issue and if it is,I would not try to feed it.

You could try some Superthrive of some other root stimulator.
