Royal Palm Die Off

[Justin]

Punatic, it's somewhat common for Triangle Palms to die in Leilani and other spots on the Windward side that get substantial amounts of rain. When it rains a lot, particularly for weeks at a time, the crown fills up with water (Triangles don't drain that well because of the crown shape), and rot sets in. I lost two that way a few years back, and with all the rain in November this year, it wouldn't surprise me if that's what happened to yours.
