MonkeDonkezz Posted February 27 Author Report Share Posted February 27 The tip is blackish and rotting somewhat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff zone 8 N.C. Posted February 27 Report Share Posted February 27 Pour some hydrogen peroxide down the hole the spear pulled from. Let it sit for a couple hours then turn the plant over to drain any water from the hole. You can repeat this procedure two or three times. Keep irrigation and rain water out of the hole so it stays dry until the new spear appears. You can also pour fungicide down the hole and then follow the rest of the advice. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChicagoPalma Posted February 27 Report Share Posted February 27 Yeah thats rot, probably fungi. Spray copper fungicide into the spear cavity. I got a similar problem but with one outside, the c9 lights burned the spear area, so they died off, but it should recover with the copper fungicide sprayed into it. Im going to put some hydrogen peroxide in mine later this week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve617 Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 I have several young trachycarpus and usually have 10 or so a year. I treat them with copper fungicide or hydrogen peroxide once a week for at least 3 weeks. Usually don't take long for a new spear to appear. Seems like as they get older the more resistance they become. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChicagoPalma Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 I had two spears and two fronds pull a couple days ago. No mushy trunk though, and I have to treat with peroxide. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love them palms Posted March 3 Report Share Posted March 3 Trachys are the one of the easier ones to recover from spear pull. I have 2 that I am nursing back to health now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
