I reached an agreement to purchase a home last november with a close date in february. Unfortunately, the previous owner didnt wrap the plam through dec/jan/feb and we had some cold weather. When I moved into the house in late february, the palms were all brown. I had a landscaper come in in early march and he trimmed it up and said it should come back this summer. I just pulled out the middle section and it was slimy and came out very easy. Is there any hope for this plam? First photo is from November...last 4 were taken today.
Your Washingtonia robusta certainly looks dead. You can always contact the palm "guru" in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, Tony on the HardyPalms.org web site for his input. He truely has all the answers for your region and is well respected in the community. Here's the link http://hardypalms.org/forum/ Cheers, LPN.

Don't give up on palms because of one failure. Tony can stear you right and help you along the way. Sorry about that dead animal ... Cheers, LPN (Barrie)
