My suggestion is find someone with extensive palm tree experience and a true higher education, and have them look at the tree. Not ask a person with a couple dozen hours learning about a wide variety of horticulture subjects and 40 hours of volunteer service.
Palm trees are expensive, the wrong diagnosis could cost you the tree.

This is the annual report of the statewide master gardener program.
You appear to belittle the best research-based answer machine in the state.
Not sure why you offer yourself as an expert, but I do know UF trainees are under tight oversight in extension agent Jim Davis, who is usually present with the volunteers while questions are answered and is himself extremely, utterly knowledgable.
