This Nikau has been like this for 3 years now and doesn't seem to grow out of it, any advise on improving the health of this palm would be much appreciated! I gave it some seaweed fertilizer a couple of times but it doesn't seem to do anything. Thank you

Is that  a Chatham Island form?  Sometimes they just spit the dummy like that in warmer parts of NZ. It might come back on its own or some (not me) would try a systemic fungicide.  I have similar issues with a Hedyscepe and will not intervene due to the likelihood of recurrence.  Goof luck!

It looks like a severe Manganese deficiency. If not treated, the palm will die soon.

If you want to give it a fighting chance, give it a dose of fungicide and a dose of chelated trace elements. Chelated trace elements are not effected by soil pH which can lock up ionic trace elements. It may recover but do nothing and it's over for it.

Millbrook, "Kinjarling" Noongar word meaning "Place of Rain", Rainbow Coast, Western Australia 35S. Warm temperate. Csb Koeppen Climate classification. Cool nights all year round.
