    Notice how the bottom leaves are drooping.. would it be safe to cut them off. The palm is starting to flower.

    If they're green, they're still doing good. Leave them be so the tree can make as much use of the sunlight as possible.

    yes, they are still green. the picture was taken moments before my posting. We're thinking more for asthetic reasons.

    you might want to check for bug infestation. green leaves shouldn't be drooping like that - if they were starting to brown/die off, the drooping would be something that would be expected/within normal.
