    If the fronds remain green, the palm should gradually recover and hold it fronds high.
    You can have an Arborist that specializes in palms inspect the planting.

    That palm looks healthy! There is no need for concern, as those are dried flowers falling. Many palms are self-cleaning like this. It seems as though it is in its proper environment, and seems rather healthy.

    Thank you for the article, do you know if i should regularly water a palm like this? If so, how often and how much?

    This looks like either a mealybug or a whitefly infestation. Both can attack various types of palms:

    It is likely that they will recover, although it may take awhile. Just leave as many leaves as possible on it, even if they are dead. Here is an article for more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/trees/palms-trees/palm-tree-dropping-fronds.htm

    This definitely sounds like a fungal issue. Usually, wettable sulfur will keep this at bay, no matter the fungus type. I would recommend adding this to the are, along with some dolomitic lime. This should bring your tree back.

    This is a very interesting question, but I am stumped! Leafcutter bees, leafcutter ants, and others can cut leaves in regular patterns, and some birds use palm leaves in nests, but I can't find any that look like the cuts on these leaves. Perhaps a human cut the leaves to make a craft project?
