Hi everyone,

We've inherited a palm tree from the previous tenant that now seems to be slowly dying. We don't know what we're doing wrong (it was advertised as a care-free tree in the first place!) and would really appreciate some help or guidance.

We'd especially be interested in what palm tree it is (so that we can go and venture online ourselves) and how to care for it properly.

Some more forensic information. It was fine and green throughout the winter. It lives on a sunny terrace in Brussels, Belgium. We don't water it, but there is plenty of rain here. Some of the leaves are now going brown, starting from the tips, and others are breaking off. It has been very windy lately - might that be a contributing factor? Also, now that it's summer, the temperature started to rise.

Thanks a lot for any and all help!!

Greeting from Brussels

Jess and Andy
