Q.My Foxtail Palm Is Growing Irregularly, What Are My Options?
I have several foxtail palms in my landscape and they’re all doing well except one. It seems to be growing unusually, the new growth is much larger than the lower growth and to the point of breaking. I’ve had to prop them up. I could cut them but the tree would look very strange. Can I cut half of the frond, take some of the weight off? Or will it die anyway by doing so?

Unfortunately, your photos did not come through. I am unable to see the issue at hand. Typically, they don't do well with pruning, though it may produce a pup to replace it. You may be stuck letting it grow to whatever shape it takes! In the meantime, this article will help you to care for the tree:
