Is this Christmas Palm Doomed?

[fernonvernon]

At the risk of overstaying my welcome by over-posting/threading re a vexing palm... 

This tree was growing on the property we're renting. I've been wondering quite a bit what state it's in over a series of posts, and have really appreciated all the input. 

Am pretty worried about this crown shaft, but can't quite tell how alarmed I ought to be about the tree's (possible?) future. 

I'd really/hugely/greatly appreciate it if someone with some experience w this variety could offer some advice re its potential salvageability or even just comment on what could possibly be going on with the tree/crown shaft.

FWIW the tree just dropped its third frond in under 2 months and/but has also begun to spread a new spear (and a rather sizable one at that) I'd once feared would never spread.

I don't know too much about this (little first-hand experience). It may be some kind of rot or other infection (?).

@fernonvernon, how is it doing now?

Looks like it's watering and fertilizing schedule got abandoned. Trunk is shrinking and constricting

This palm is infamous for being susceptible to lethal yellowing in the State of Florida

Do you have pics of it?

Can you help it?

Does this palm have signs of it or something?!?!?! (When you last saw it)

I don't believe the pathogen that causes Lethal Yellowing is in California

They have gophers

We have LY

Moose, they also don't have Adonidia merrillii in California :-) I believe the palm in question is in Dubai. So perhaps there are issues more local to the area that could be causing it, if indeed it is something that won't just resolve on its own?

Saw dxb as location? Then mentioned purchase from Phil so assumed was from California. Since LY is mostly a pathogen of the Caribbean, I agree that a palm in Dubai would probably not be affected. Adonidia merrilli does well in humidity, likes water. Native haunts are the Philippines.
