Washingtonian help

[Insomniac411]

Just returned home from a 3 week trip to find one of my Washingtonia Palms looking Brown and unhealthy. I planted the two about 3 months ago, both receive the same amount of light and water. One is doing great. Any clues? Last 2 pics are the healthy one.

I  wonder if you wouldn't mind disclosing your location. knowing something about your local climate would help those who can offer counsel.

maybe this would be a good place to ask for advice on a  Washingtonia filifera i have. it is one of these trees that has found it's groove. all the right conditions are being met. i do not irrigate this tree and have not fertilized it in several years......yet it is growing REALLY fast....thats is the problem. it will be shading an area that doesn't need shade. my question is,  will removing lower leafs help slow the growth, or hasten it? thoughts?

Sorry

 I'm in Jacksonville Fl. Zone 9b. Currently hot 90"s but most my other trees are flourishing.

Looks like run of the mill transplant shock issues.  Keep watering and it will be fine.  These are very difficult species to kill.

Thanks! I dealt with shock on my first washintonias 3 yrs ago. Since then I've planted so many palms without problems, and I guess I kinda thought I was better at caring for them. Haven't dealt with severe shock in a bit. Your probably right though.
