Palm tree declining in Orlando.

Managing a client installation in November 2025, I was taken aback to see a distressed palm tree in a neighbor’s yard. I felt compelled to help, though I wondered if the homeowner would even be receptive. After a discreet closer inspection, I discovered the root cause, realizing sadly that there was no remedy for this palm tree. What was the problem? Did it happen during the January 2026 freeze? Who is at fault?

I will post the diagnosis on Better Lawns and Gardens Facebook page on April 2, 2026 Facebook

Thank you to everyone who responded with guesses!
