I planted this Bismarck approximately 3 months ago but have been struggling to keep it alive. The palm was potted at the nursery but root bound.

First pic is right after planting, the second pic is what I came home to from out of town two weeks later. I believed it was the result of inconsistent watering so I had bubblers installed and it seemed to stave off more frond death until yesterday when I discovered the spear pulled from crown rot. I washed the hole out and applied copper fungicide but not sure what else to do or if it’s pretty much a lost cause at this point. SWFL
