Broken part of the spear turning into its own frond?

So I have this king palm and from the most recent frond that opened there was a broken part of the spear that just split from the main spear now that I look at it it has grown significantly looking like it’s turning into its own spear is this the case ? As you can see it’s turning thick at the bottom and it’s very thin at the top since it was split from its original spear

    Perhaps you are correct, to me it just looks like a new spear pushing up past the old spear.

    Archontophoenix usually push a new spear past one that is opening . This starts at a fairly early stage , even before trunking. That’s a good sign , it means the palm is picking up a bit of speed! Harry
