They're just waiting for spring....

If he's as close to the coast as I think, Maybe use black river rocks at the base to help with heat?

Zone 10a at best after 2007 AND 2013, on SW facing hill, 1 1/2 miles from coast in Oceanside, CA. 30-98 degrees, and 45-80deg. about 95% of the time.

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

What's the problem? It looks like it's just the bottom leaf that's brown on the closest palm in the picture. The rest of the leaves look pretty good...

They pencil up even here in FL as well...lack of irrigation and/or humidity is usually the case.

Well, Ashton is very close to the coast and dosen't get a lot of heat.  Royals always look crappy at the end of winter even inland.  This is as bad as it's gonna get.  How long have they been in the ground?  Were they field dug or from a box?  I think they need 3 years in the ground to get established before making any judgments.  What happened to the B. veillardiis?  Are they still there?  I can't see them.

Ashton's have faired much better than mine. Last years cold set them back. This years dampness and cold outright killed this one. I so bummmmed! Had it since 3g size.

Planted almost 2 yrs ago.
