My palm was installed a few years ago and most of the lower fronds have browned but the heart looks good, what is going on?
A fairly common but rarely lethal disease called Graphiola Phoenics has infected the palm. Graphiola is fairly common on sites where the planter beds under the palm are constantly irrigated resulting in a high level of evaporation constantly pelting the lowest fronds with water vapor. The disease is controllable and can be eradicated through the application of a fungicide. Speak to your Groundworks representative and they will provide you with the necessary treatment protocol information.
