This young palm got beat up over the winter with the unexpected cold and snow.   It has nice green fronds coming out of the top now.  
Covering it with a canvas sack, the heavy snow bent the existing fronds and they turned brown. Should I cut those off or wait until it gets more new fronds?

Wow man I just want to say I don’t know the answer to your question but that thing looks great after enduring snowfall. What area are you located in?

Any leaf/petiole that is not green(completely brown)can be cut off.  Leave anything green on plant.

Scissors work great on the leaves to remove the brown, if so inclined.

nice, I honestly didn’t even know Washingtonias could survive in Virginia. I have never seen one there at all but I think that is great if you do grow it there.
