Thinking my canary date palm may have a disease but I can't determine what it is? Brown fuzzy growth between fronds on buth sides. Affects lowermost fronds the most but newer fronds also have visible browning. Please help identify and treat.

Looked up texas phoneix and I don't think it is that. Its still seeding and speartip is healthy...Scott, are u sure it could be insects? The blades of the fronds are kinda stuck together in the dead spots with a furry fuzzy red brown growth as apparent in the second pic. If insects what should I treat with?

The furry fuzzy is the waste of the insect. Get a good sprayer (hose end for large palms) I use Ortho "Fire Ant Killer' mixed in water and spray the leaves for instant controll. I have found a product that you apply to the root area of the palm and it controlls for 6 months. I will get you the name of the product ( I can not remember at this time) I think it is a Bayers product.i

Scott is correct!

Palm leaf skeletonizer is the cause. A moth lays her eggs in the undersides of your Pheonix palm and the caterpillars that hatch do the damage. Usually the caterpillars have become moths and have flown away by the time you see the damage.

Systemic pesticides are the way to go for sure.

Thanks guys. This site rocks. U were right, saw the adult moths flying all over while spraying this morning. Read the UF report on skeletonizer and incecticides and happened to have bifen-IT on hand. Applied at a rate of .5fl/oz per gal. If this dosent work I'll try the systemic.

Just an update....bifen-it appears to have worked. Retreated after 3 weeks at a rate of .25 fl/oz per gal and did see one adult fly off while spraying compared to 40 or so adults on the 1st treatment. Going to treat one more time in 2 weeks and follow up with systemic just to make sure I get em all.
