Kyle Tx 78640Q.Pygmy Date Palms
I have them in the ground and in pots . I just cut the fronds all off from trunks. ( they all were brown and dead). Will they grow back? If so, how quickly?

Certified ExpertA.Usually, stripping a palm off of all of its leaves will kill the palm. If this is from frost or cold damage, then the best course of action would be to leave them on until you see any new growth. After they have a few replacement leaves then the others can be cut off. If the center mass was destroyed, then it is likely that it wouldn't have recovered anyway.

March 13, 2018Q.Canary Date Palm Root Growth
About 8 years ago we planted a Canary Date Palm near the front of our house. It has grown and developed into a beautiful Palm. Although the long fronds can be managed we are concerned about the development of the root system. Our house sewage drainage pipe is probably about a foot deep and around five feet from the base of the tree. Is the PVC pipe going to be threatened by growth and expansion of the root ball?

March 14, 2018A.This is a unusual Palm for a residential yard. The proximity to your home and sewage system is concerning.
The mature size of this palm 50 to 60 feet hight with a trunk diameter of 4 feet.I would recommend you have a qualified palm specialist or Arborist examine the palm and the location to your home
You can check with your County Extension Office for a recommendation. Here is a link to help you locate your nearest office.

April 29, 2018A.I buy dates in 2 pound containers at Trader Joe's and eat the date and just stick the pit into pots of other plants that I'm growing and after a few weeks the plants just start to grow and I just let them. I hope that you have as much luck as I do. I also do this with lemon seeds and avocado pits that have started to grow in my compost.

May 6, 2018Q.Pods on pigmy palm
When should we cut off the pods. We have two pigmy palms on the inside of our lanai. One Has about 10 pods and the other about 8 pods sprouting. Most are green and some are yellow. Do we wait for them to open before cutting them? Any info will help.

May 6, 2018A.Yes, you can prune these from the palm-carefully!
Your palm will defend itself. Use long gloves to protect yourself.https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/pygmy-palm/grow-pygmy-palm-trees.htm
