Foxtail Cluster Of 3 — 2 Big And 1 Small – The Small One Died, Can I Remove It Or Cut It Down?

Question

I have a 3 cluster foxtail palms about 5 years old. The smallest one died and the other 2 are doing great. Can I cut the small one off at the bottom or do I leave it alone?

Answer 1

If it is dead, then it will be completely fine to remove it. If it is still living, I would wait until all growth from the shoot is dead to remove it.
