It looks like a Mediterranean Fan Palm (Chamaerops humilis). What is it growing in? Is there drainage? What is the soil like? Please, no more fertilizer until your plant stabilizes. Fertilizer can kill stressed palms, not help 'em.

It is growing in a planner that we have on the side of the pool. And yes there is a drain next to the plant and it drains very well. Does it appear to be underwater? Or overwatered?

it is black clay/top soil mix that it is planted in when we planted the palm we mixed in about 20 to 30% sand into the mix as they suggested at the supplier. There is a French drain about 8 inches away from the palm tree that drains really well too much water is taking on.

First, is that a true french drain with perforated pipe below grade or is it just a surface drain. I would put money that it is just a surface drain. Pop the top and look down to see what type of pipe is there. You may need to use a compact mirror and flashlight to see.

I live in Mckinney, just a tad north of you. While we had an extended spring with all the rain, we are now into a run of 100+ degree temps. This weekend we will be looking at 104+. If the palm was growing in a partially shaded area and it is now plunked in the middle of all day sun, my guess is it is shock from not being hardened off before being placed in 14 hours of direct sun. Some improvised shade may help.

Palms have what is called a root initiation zone. You can look that up at your convenience. And this link discussing transplanting practices and root regeneration so you can understand what is going on underground. This palm was probably not container grown since germination but rather field dug and placed in a container. Based on results from the link, it would take three years for a Chamaerops humilis to be reliably considered seasoned with adequate root growth.

Fertilizer and transplanted palms and heavily fertilizing palms in the height of the summer is something I do not do. Fertilizer stimulates a plant to grow. To accomplish this the plant is going to want to uptake greater amounts of water. Right now unless your talking about cacti, agave, yucca and the like, a plant in Texas in mid summer can barely uptake enough water to keep up with normal demands less the added requirements with fertilizer.

Who planted your palm. Nursery/landscaper or DIY. If not a DIY installation and you purchased a guarantee I would promptly punt the problem back to the installer. If it was my palm I would probably trim the severely yellow fronds and that's it. I would then take a sharpie and mark the emerging spear and an adjacent frond. This way you will be able to determine when active growth has resumed. After that I would loosely gather all the fronds up and around the emerging spear and gently tie them up in this position. This will do a couple things. First it will reduce leaf exposure and transpiration rates so the plant might be able to keep up with it's water needs and second create a shade canopy for the spear and growing point of the palm.

Roots need to be exposed to water and then oxygen. This happens when the palm is irrigated and then allowed to dry out somewhat allowing oxygen to replace the water. If the root hairs are constantly submerged in water, they die and then even if you are watering the plant will go into drought stress because the root structures that absorb water and oxygen have died.

Good luck

That is a huge help… Thank you so much. we actually bought the plant at the palms and pottery in McKinney. They told me that it is under watered and that we should be dripping daily and supplementing hand watering about twice a week. Which we have been doing and I feel like I am drowning the damn thing. The soil is pretty moist even in the heat of the day. But I was thinking that maybe it is sunshine shocked because where we bought it is pretty shady all the time. I will try what you're suggesting by time the fronds up. And maybe I can make a shade screen for the Highnoon sun for a little while until it cools off. How much watering would you say if this plant would need? The trunks are about 4 feet tall and the fronds extend to maybe 9 foot tall at the tallest point. We are dripping daily at a rate of 3 gallons per hour. And it runs for 1hr. Thoughts?

They might have it backwards ... quote from Expert Tips: How to Water Palm Trees on web "Signs of Overwatering Palm Tree

Overwatering can kill your palm or lead to various disease problems. One of the signs of overwatered palm is wilted canopy of the tree and leaf discoloration.

If you notice that the younger foliage and newly emerging leaves are brown that could be sign of overwatering. Nutrient deficiencies caused by excess water can also be a problem. Overwatering can also cause a root rot that is very hard to remedy and detect. In extreme cases, you could even smell a four odor coming from the rotting tree.

Signs of Palm Not Getting Enough Water

Underwatering can easily happen during a summer drought. If your palm is not getting enough water, you will notice some of the leaves turning brown and dry. Or they could start to look droopy and wilted. Just check to see how long the soil is staying moist after the watering."
