    It is difficult to say what the damage is on your Queen Palm with this description.

    Damage can be done to the base of palms by fertilizers or mechanical injuries.
    There are some serious diseases that can effect the Queen Palm.

    I would suggest you have your palm inspected by an expert in your area.
    Your local County Extension Office can help you find a qualified expert in your area.

    There is very little action to take at this time. Storm damage is common to palms. It is unnecessary to remove damages stems, although it is up to you if you want to or not.

    Thank you answering my question but I think I asked the question the wrong way. I meant to ask about the new growth coming from the top of my palms. If they are broken should I just leave them cut some back or cut them all the way out. Also is this going to kill the palm trees.

    My apologies. Leave them. They will often repair themselves. Even if they are broken, and on their way to dying off, they will give nutrients back to the plant as they do so. This hill help them have energy to put out new growth. It is safe to leave the new growth as it is.
