Need palm expert
 
We had a young fellow at our door tell us our palms are sick and all need to be cut down.
I'd like to have a second opinion as I don't trust these drive by people.
Any recommendations?
Thank you in advance.

Bronzing disease
 
There is a disease called bronzing. Google palm bronzing to determine the problem. If you have bronzing the palms must go before it spreads. It spread through our neighborhood. Only rely on a certified arborist for your evaluation. We used a company called Tree Frog. Not cheap but no regrets either

Did that "young fellow" leave you a business card or contact info? Best to check with Seniors v Crime to find out if they have any adverse info on him/his business.

We used AmeriTree to diagnose, remove and replace our Pindo palm with great success - stump grinding and all! Less expensive than Tree Frog and just as professional.

Contact Tree Frog, they have a licensed arborist that can give you the correct answer. If this is just yellowing on the palm fronds, typically additional magnesium will solve the problem.

It looks like tree sap.
