Something is wrong with my lytocarum it has been like this for about 5 years and not looking any better any help is greatly appreciated thank you

It's been like that for 5 years???

Is there any full length green fronds?

To be honest it looks like it at some point had a crown issue, perhaps spear pull even from which it never recovered.

I had several that suffered spear pull from cold damage this last winter and all but three recovered.  Two that didn't still have green fronds but no signs of new growth and the third died completely.

You do not mention if there are still some green leaves.

Something like this has happened to me few times and it looks like the terminal stage of micronutrient deficiency, most likely boron and manganese, in the second picture you can see the accordion shape of the dwarfed leaflets.

For my experience, I susspect also a lack of water can be involved. Our winters are surely humid, but in the recent years the important rains are restricted to very short and rare periods. So my impression is that the garden is well watered, but there probably are still some dry spots. It could be that lack of water can lead to nutrient deficiency.

I would start to water heavily and spray the remaining leaves (if there are some) with micronutrient mix. In my case the recovery was very slow, taking many months if not a year or more

Yes there are still green leaves but slowly losing one now and then it is possible drought after the big wet season Australia had it did make the new growth and yes spear pull did happen to it so it’s a few possibilities

The palm heart looks rotted out to me. Palms can hold green fronds well after extensive rot has taken over the palm. It looks to be at death’s door tbh. Especially if it’s looked that way for 5 years.

I think it’s time to replace it with something else that will grow instead of looking dead all the time
