Trachycarpus fortunei leaf issue

[kbob11]

Hi everyone, I’m wondering what is going on with my older leaves.  It starts on the tops of the fronds and works it’s way down with a rusty red color.  Is there a treatment for this? Thanks!

If on older fronds I believe this is normal.  In winter I notice mine start to brown a little because of low light at tips.  If the NEW fronds look bad you need to worry.   You can clip the end brown part off if you want.  Leave as much as possible though as this palm is small/still in strap leaf stage.  You can check your watering and make sure not to over/under water.  You can leave the palm outside if temps are over 20F and no unusual ice storms.  Just sit it on the south side tucked right beside the house outside.  Check your indoor humidity if you have the palm near any heating as it could be drying it exasperating the problem.   Palms won't perk up till next summer.
