@Allen - When mine spear pull, they've all recovered by late June. We are now early August and his is getting worse. I don't think he has enough summer left to save it outside. It will probably have to go indoors for the winter to recover.

The spears have officially pulled out. Would we say she’s a goner at this point?

The exact same thing happened to me this year. I had a windmill that I planted last year. It mostly stagnated until July and then it pushed out 3-4 nice looking fronds. After that, in the span of 1-2 weeks all of them shriveled up (while still being green) and the spear pulled. I cut the trunk and it looks like a goner.

I have 2 more windmills that are in the ground, about the same size, and are doing great. I have no idea what caused this and I don't think I have moles. One thing that I noticed, but most content i can find online says it's fine, I've seen a lot of earwigs hanging out in the spear area. Not sure if those had anything to do with the spear pull, but I don't recall seeing any signs of chewing.
