Windmill palm turns brown

Hi, I'm new to this forum.

 

I have a question about one of my windmill palm tree. It turned brown a few months ago.

It gets the same amount of water as the other ones but this one is the only one that turned brown this bad. During the hot summer months (+100F) I water it 2x a week, in the cooler months 1x a week.

I gave it some nutrition but it got worse until the point you can see in the pictures. Is it still savable? If so, what do I need to do?

Location is Tucson AZ

 

Thank you very much
Bart

If it is still in that condition, then it is still salvageable. The spear looks alive. Due to your location, you may need to water it more than you currently (?) do.

Himmes, Welcome to Palmtalk !  Your palm might survive, but it will never be a 'happy camper', as Tucson is not a good climate for this palm.  It would be more happy in Seattle.  There are several attractive palms that will work for you, I hope others here can make a specific recommendation.  :)

I'd say shade is a must if that palm has any hope of making it.  Shade.  More water too.  

But in the long run, as others have said, this species is not suited for the desert.
