joetx 71 Report post Posted May 12 Hey Y'all, I planted this Sylvester back in March. There was one slight freeze after planting (32F). About a month ago the middle fronds (spear) pulled. I used copper fungicide and hydrogen peroxide. Still no new growth. I don't really water it, but decided to today as the soil was dry down about 4 inches. Any thoughts on what to do, if anything? Was going to wait until fall to finally call it. Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mydateplams 145 Report post Posted May 12 Looks like it's dying and I would pull it and put it in a pot in the shade in the back yard to see if you can survive. When I have little palms like that and the spear comes out they either die really slowly or if they recover they take a really long time to turn around and the growth is slow. When you pull it if its all rioted around the roots its done. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Collectorpalms 2,017 Report post Posted May 13 I would feed and water it and avoid getting water in the crown. Phoenix get spear easy from cold. if it is crown rot then its a gonner. I just had a pygmy date come back last week and now its coming on fast. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
