Hey ya'll, 

I have a questions about my Brahea Armata, Mexican Blue. It has dirt/hair looking spots on its fronds. Do you think it has a disease or something? Maybe root rot. It gets watered the same as my other 20 palms in my yard. Is it normal for this species to have this on its fronds?

Looks healthy and happy. Typical pigment on those petioles. It’s mature trunk will likely be touching the wall but that’s not for many years.

yes its fine, the tomentum stuff on petioles is very common.  Yours looks like its ready to get established and grow a big root system.  These palms LOVE heat, they do best in the desert.
