Can this Palm Tree be saved?

3 years ago
last modified: 3 years ago

After a heavy rainstorm yesterday, our 7 year old palm tree collapsed in the center. The base is still intact but the meristem and surrounding fronds are down and partially detached. I can prop them up and support them with a post but not sure if this will help. Any advice is most appreciated. Thanks!

    Are you in Cali? It's a date palm (Phoenix, maybe dactylifera). Palms are tough but once they show center bud issues, it's usually too late, but not impossible to rebud. I would replace it.
