Fonds on Palm Trees


Question
I currently planted a 10 to 12 ft. palm. I have been watering the roots and all the fonds at the top about every two days for a week. Today i notice that two fonds has fallen over. Do you believe i water it too much?

Answer
A newly planted palm will often shed its lower "fronds" after turning yellow, if they collapse while still green then it is a stress situation which isn't  uncommon either;; Watering it as you did isn't too much, I just think it needs to get its roots set. Watch  the crown (top) that is the important thing, it should stay healthy and straight. Nick
