Whelp, this year everybody is flowering. I changed fertilizing around a little and that seemed to do something maybe, to several palms in the yard. Tons of flowers… and mess and seeds. Now three of the Pseudophoenix are flowering this year. I plan to cut them off before the seeds come, but after the stalks mature. The one-Armed Bandit is making another 4 flower stalks…. Charlie Brown’s Christmas Tree is making a few… This fast-growning subspecies turned out to be a slow poke, but an early flowerer… These two regulars out grow it by far, but no flowers yet. I am starting to think the Pseudophoenix Decline is strongly associated with flowering. It is a disease of only mature Pseudophoenix, and the flower stalks definitely create gaps in the crown that collect water all year. The stalk later dies off, and rots under fronds that won’t drop and reveal them for 1year+ sometimes. This seems to accelerate rotting and subsurface damage to the crown. I continue to treat prophylacticly with Daconil, but it’s getting close… where flower stalks sat pressed against the crown all year. I suspect this will turn into an observational study of Pseudophoenix Decline as these age and out grow my ability to treat topically as the gain height. They are already too tall for me to reach the spear. This area of damage penetrated the leaf base/wrap where a flower stalk was pressed all year.
