I am New  to  growing palm trees since I live in the north. I have a new trachycarpus fortunei 10 foot palm tree I got  One  month ago it was grown in Florida and has

never seen a  Cold winter when I got it. it was recently transplanted into a bucket from the nursery prior to me getting it. when I got the tree  Home I noticed the center  spear  was gray and pulled out and was all rotten.  And a few small  ones  in the center  wear loose as well I pulled them all out and began treating it with hydrogen peroxide directly to the crown is there anything else I can do and  has anyone ever seen this  before. will the tree grow it out?
The rest of the tree looks gorgeous it has lots of dark green  healthy foliage but the center is just not growing at all it's only been about two weeks since I started  treating it with hydrogen peroxide every three days. any advice at all would help. 

Thanks so much.  I appreciate any help at all

To me, this looks like a transplant shock. The palm will grow out of it. One month is little time in palm terms but there should be a new spear coming soon. Give it another month or so. You can also check by carefully inserting a stick or something to see whether there is new growth coming up.

You can't do much more to help it other than watering it well. No Trachycarpus has ever died from too much water alone.

Flow thanks so much for the help.  Should I keep up with the hydrogen peroxide  ?

I don't know, to be honest, since I have never used it.. Perhaps someone else could comment on that. I'd say it would probably not hurt it if you applied it a few more times.

I've had a T. ukhrulensis spear-pull this spring from frost damage and I just left it to its own devices and it is coming back nonetheless. Trachycarpus are pretty tough in general.
