I have been asked to watch my friends newly planted palm trees palm that he planted six weeks ago. He has a timer on his hoses for twice a week. The leaves on the Sylvester are turning brown near the bark. Is it getting too much water? I figure with all the rain we are having and the hose still watering the palms it might be too much. I planted my palms around the same time and I was told to water heavily for a month and then regular watering. My palms look healthy. Should I back of his timer?
