Trim it trim it trim it.

Thats the way those fronds, split at the trunk when they die.

To see if its still alive, get up top and check for new growth, (no fun), or dig around the bottom for the roots.

If the roots are all dried up and dead.........then, but if they are wet, green and tough, the tree is prolly fine.

I have a Canary Island Date Palm (Pineapple Palm) that the fronds look real nice and give it the pineapple look, but after about 4 or 5 years the lower ones rot away and you end up seeing the trunk of the tree. I was just wondering if this is the same kind of deal.
