Ilovepalm Posted March 2 Report Share Posted March 2 Hi guys. Does this coconut palm have a chance to put out a leaf yet? I overdid it 2 weeks ago. The roots are thick and healthy. She looked like this before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert D. Young Posted March 2 Report Share Posted March 2 Very unlikely, but give it a little time to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PalmCode Posted March 3 Report Share Posted March 3 There is still a very slim chance that it may push out a new green leaf spike if the growing conditions are perfect, but I'd say shes gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilovepalm Posted March 4 Author Report Share Posted March 4 @gilles06 @Robert D. Young @PalmCode So, why are the roots in such good condition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Root tissue generally doesn't decay fast, you could run the top part through a shredder and the roots would be in “good condition” Also root decay is highly variable and not well understood, usually they rot with the aid of external pathogens, fungi and enzymes. 1 Inground- 1x Syagrus romanzoffiana 2x Livingstona Chinensis 5x Phoenix Robelleni In Pots- 3x Sabal Mexicana 5x Phoenix dactylifera 4x Sabal Palmetto 3x Livingstona Chinensis 3x Ravenea Rivularis 6x Cycas Revoluta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
