What is wrong with Pygmy date palm?

[PindoPalm]

I purchased this palm about 2 weeks ago and it’s still doing great but one of the four trunks is leaning, this started about a week ago but it’s only gotten worse. The fronds on it are still nice and green but the top of the trunk is leaning quite heavily. Does anyone know why this is happening or how to stop it from getting worse?

Looks like it was manhandled to me.  Sometimes people grab them by the trunks or leaves, bad idea as it will tear roots.  Water it regularly and plant it in a month.  It does look like an abused container palm, overtrimming is obvious on the larger trunk.  Keeping these in a container in arizona is rough on them.

Ok thank you. I just repotted it about 1 week ago because there were roots coming from the bottom and it was extremely rootbound. I don’t want to transplant it too soon so I’ll wait a bit longer but the Pindo is definitely ready to go into the ground.
