Take a picture of the palm with your phone or tablet and take to government annex (corner of 466 and Morse) on Mondays between 9 am and 3 pm. Master Gardeners are there to diagnose problems and will give information. All the rain we have had has caused quite a few problems with a number of plants; palms included. ALthough, if they had it trimmed before they left and the saw wasn't sterilized, that could have started the problems.
