Is the browning/dying of the leaves normal? 

thank you

Hi,

no worries - we have a zillion of those beauties on our island and yours looks perfectly normal and good!

Old leaves are abonded which is completely natural. As long as new leaves are looking fine, there is nothing

to be worried about!

Agree with @palmfriend.  Sometimes it happens right before a tour and it doesn't look great, but it's perfectly natural and normal.

Thank you @palmfriend @kinzyjr I was worried I either over fertilized it or under watered.

Mine drop several yellow or brown this time of year.  This year included some hurricane milton damage.  In the wet season the keaves come off faster, shed quickly after going yellow.  It looks recently planted and if so the roots are not developed yet.  During this dry spring time,I would make sure they get water at least 3-4 times a week.  Once the rains set in that can stop.  We really have not had much rain so far, I hand water my yard(2x a week) in the dry spring as well as the irrigation system timer(2x a week).  Once the rains come, they are on autopilot.  They also blanch a little more in direct sun when young juveniles.  They are an emergent palm so once they get a little trunk they will be a deeper green and grow quickly in full sun.  These are faster palms than I had thought.

@sonoranfans thank you. It was planted about 5 months ago from a 30g pot. We haven’t had much rain yet. It’s still young can’t wait for it to settle in and take off.

That new center spear is looking real healthy.  Keep up the water and it will darken up nice.
