Certified ExpertA.Those are leftover from the inflorescence. You can leave them or cut them off when blooming or fruiting is finished without harming the palm.

Mandeville, La. 70471Q.PINDO PALM CRUSHED BY TREE
Hurricane IDA was nice enough to plant a very large pine tree on top of half of my mature Pindo palm heart. About 25% of the heart is crushed and the flesh is visible. What can I do to bring this tree back to health? Thank you!

Certified ExpertA.That damage is severe. Likely, what will happen is, new pups will grow from the base to take over the original palm. This is typical with severe damage. Should this not happen within a season, you may look to replacing it. Either way, the larger trunk must be cut back, fully. Just wait to do so after you see new growth, or full death.

September 8, 2021A.Just to make sure I understand: You are saying there is no hope for this Pindo, ie.. it is going to die? Correct? Pups will not make a specimen tree that this tree was. Won't they grow up angled from the trunk, etc? And take for ever?
Should I remove the remaining frowns? Or does it matter? How long will it take to decline?

Certified ExpertA.They like moist soil but it must be well draining. If it drains well, it won't hurt it to get extra water occasionally. Let it begin to dry before watering again.

Houston, TXQ.Thin And Droopy Pindo Palm Leaves (young Palm)
I have planted a Young Pindo Palm in April of this year. the tree seems to be growing slowly , but i noticed the leaves are very thin and curling up dramatically. I have fertilized the tree twice so far with Miracle Grow shake and feed and the sprinkler is waterting about 7-8 min every 2 days. I have attached a couple of pictures to show the tree; would appreciate any help on how to get a "Healthier" looking tree with larger leaves and not as curly, more like a regular pindo. Thank you

Certified ExpertA.There is a chance that it could be nutrient burn. It is always good to be sure that the soil needs nutrients before feeding. Sometimes, interaction can happen between the extra nutrients locking each other out. The pH of the soil can be affected, as well. Another thing to consider is watering practices. Make sure that the soil is allowed to dry at least a few inches between waterings to to prevent root suffocation. This can prevent proper exchange of nutrients. Fortunately, Another thing to consider is that they can't stand full sun. They need bright but filtered light. all of these things can be tested for.
