I use Jobe spikes 4 times a year. They seem to help prevent the yellowing. They will still need pruning. Good luck

There are bud beetles, Decline syndrome, physical storm damage.. There are volumes out there on disease and insects, but the most common things, are either not a problem or caused by the install. And again EVERYONE, should be adjusting the pH. Why the rest of the 'pros' out there don't address pH is beyond me.

In the end, there are only a handful of experts out there, and even fewer who will tell you the truth if it isn't putting money in their pocket. If you are N of HWY 44, PM me and I will look at it, and let you know what I think.

Magnesium from the hardware store for yellowing palms. Just a little and it isn’t automatic. It can take a year for the palm to become green. Also some palm fertilizer placed a few feet from the trunk. Not on the trunk. Magnesium solution gets put directly on the palm branch bases. Mix it with water as directed.
