Mr. Coconut Palm Posted Thursday at 03:44 AM Report Share Posted Thursday at 03:44 AM I need help identifying a problem with a young Coconut Palm I have that I sprouted from a nut I collected on the beach at Padre Island, Texas a couple of years ago. It is a green variety of some sort, and is about 3 feet tall in overall height. It looked really good last year, so much so that it was one of the most beautiful Coconut Palms I had at the time, but it slowed down its growth in the last few months. Recently, just in the last 2 to 3 weeks, the second newest leaf has turned VERY YELLOW with burned brown edges on the leaf, as if the leaf was freeze burned recently, but the weather has been very warm late spring weather, and it was not exposed to freezing temps over the winter. It is in a 3 gal. pot, and I have kept it watered and fertilized it twice over the last few months. Unfortunately, I can't upload any photos of it here, but can text photos to someone on Messenger, or on their cell number. Thanks. John 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZPalms Posted Saturday at 09:47 AM Report Share Posted Saturday at 09:47 AM Shouldn’t a coconut at that point of maturity be in a bigger pot? I’m not really sure but might be worth checking the roots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
