Then a good helping of Manganese Sulphate every few months will cure the "Frizzle Leaf" and keep the palm green. It's available at every garden supply store in 20 lb. bags. Please note that if you sprinkle it on landscaping stones, it'll turn them an unsightly black (it's NOT from the seeds, 784caroline). And it doesn't wash off

I am almost certain the "black" is comming fomr the seed pods (which are dark in color dropping on the grass and river rock) and in turn are starting to degenerate and split apart and start to get mushy. They are a mess to deal with!

How would you apply the fertilizer to a palm if you have river rock and you do not wnat it to turn black??
