Do you have weed fabric block around the base of this palm? We killed ours with weed block fabric, also killed a grapefruit with weed block fabric. Over several years the weed block becomes blocked with debris and nothing is able to get through to the roots of the tree. The University of Florida has written extensively on this problem. Apart from that, have no idea!
