Is my Pindo Palm dead?
I literally wrote a whole post and it didn't save.😡
Is my Pindo Palm salvageable or not? I live in Eastern NC and transplanted it last Oct. We had a lot of snow this year and ever since, I don't see it greening up.
I called myself researching and did a few treatments of Neem Oil, Fungicide, and a Borax treatment. I reached out to the NC State COOP Extension for Horticulture to see what was wrong with it and they suggested the Neem Oil because there were white spots on the trunk. I was told to prune off the browned fronds, which I did as well. This was over the last 3-4 months.
As of May, the stem is now producing no green fronds and the tips have all turned brown. The tree is wilting and still has yellowish spots on it and dry/burnt tips. I think it's dead. The stem does not come up when I tug on it so I don't think is bud rot or whatever. I still think it's dead though. I have not fertilized it because the COOP said to stop all treatments and give it time.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I would love for it to survive and thrive but I'm not too sure it will.
