Foxtail Palm Spots/leafs Dying

Question

I plants a foxtail palm in May 2020 and it now has palms that are brown on the tips, spots and yellowing one leaves or palm, and then black spots on the trunk. Is this from over watering or am I totally loosing my new palm tree? Any help is appreciated. Pictures attached.

Answer 1

This is, very likely, from overwatering.

From here, you will need a fungicide. Make sure to let the soil dry down to, at least, 3 or 4 inches between waterings.
