My Triangle palms are dying

The new leaves of my triangle palms are turning brown, and have gauge marks on them like if something is eating them; what can I do to save then, and keep the others from being contaminated?

Change the substrate and add nutrients or amino acids

@Baja Sur welcome to PalmTalk!  A couple of photos would help diagnose the problem.  Brown new spears could be a fungal infection in the bud, which is curable if caught early enough.  It could also be a nutrient problem or physical damage (i.e. whacking it when bringing it home or planting it), not enough water, too much water, spraying water in the crown, etc.  Photos would help narrow it down.

I haven't had bugs eat new spears on any of my palms, but you have different bugs in CA than I do in FL.  Do you have any idea what kind of bug it might be?

I recently learned here on PT that these like an arid climate. They do very well at my house but evidently can have fungal problems in certain parts of Hawaii. Pics would help. Harry

Hola @Baja Sur nice to meet you, sorry to hear the reason. 
 

You, @Harry’s Palms and me are all kinda sorta neighbors, though I suspect you’re a lot more tropical. 
 

Triangles like fast drainage and mucho agua and sometimes get fungus. 
 

Puctures por favor!

Yes , lots of water . I water mine at least twice a week , more in warm weather . I have fast draining soil with dry breezy conditions nearly every afternoon. I have not had any trouble with them . They have been in the ground for over 25 years , very small palms when I planted them . HarryIMG_4732.thumb.jpeg.5e5b6bb4d119d5173ff7669e9e64d947.jpeg

I lost one with 5 feet of trunk after a really wet Winter a few years back.

It had been in the ground for years.

It was in 100% clay.

Think they need the drainage.

@TomJ Good info there . I have two that do well with the frequent watering . Interesting because a close friend/ palm collector a few blocks away says he can’t grow them . He is two or three blocks down the hill from us in the older , classic home area. Maybe more clay down there. Another collector on the other side of the hill has a couple of large ones. Like me , he is on the side of a hill that drains well. There is a huge one at Disneyland that is at least 50 years old and doing well . It is on the right as you enter Frontier Land. Harry
