New here, so Hello and thank u for all your help. We purchased some large Pindo palms April 2024 and had planted next to pool. Fast fwd to now, I noticed the palm trees seem to be dying. I had no knowledge of how to properly care for these pindos so after doing lots of research and getting more and more discouraged realizing they may already be completely dead. What happened is We had some very unexpected freezing rain in January and February that I now suspect what may have murdered my trees. The spears are all dead with rot on ends when I barely pulled and they came out of top. Most all the existing (I believe called fronds) leaves also seem to be dying. I treated with a copper spray last week and put some hydrogen peroxide in top today. With how bad my trees look, I’m wondering if I Should bother to wait the months to see if it recover or go ahead and bite the bullet and get new trees and learn from my failures and lessons to keep the new trees covered in the winter moving forward. Is there any chance they are still alive?

You've done about all you can do besides spraying the copper fungicide in there about once a week after any rains until you see a new spear growing from center

@Smiley I wouldn't say all is lost yet. It doesn't look good but be patient and give it some time. At least some of the fronds are green. What zone are you in? You should be experiencing some warm temps for a good while now so those spears should be pushing up soon enough.

We are located in east tx zone 8b. Thank y’all so much for the help. I will continue with the copper fungicide after any rains and keep my fingers crossed.

Did you wrap them up during winter? I live in DFW and am wanting to plant a mature Pindo.. but it doesn't seem as hardy as everyone says.
