Help with a palm!

[MGreiwe]

Help! We live in Las Vegas.  Transplanted this guy a year ago.   Does anyone have any idea if this Mediterranean Palm is over watered or under watered?  Thank you.

How much water is it getting? At the stage it is at, in your pic, it does not need more water except for just enough to keep the soil from getting bone dry. No green leaves equals no leaves to take up and use that water. Is the emerging leaf spear healthy? Is the spear still green? Do you have irrigation spraying on the top of the palm? I can see from the pic it is getting some shade. That is probably good for LV.

We were watering 8 gallons a day - 20 minutes at 5:00 am, 20 at 7:30 am, 20 at 8:00 pm for 6 days a week during summer. It turns brown over the summer.  We thought over watering so cut back to 5 gallons.  It was a transplanted last year.  Now in fall we are at 3 days a week.  It gets morning shade and afternoon sun.

Too much.  😲 These are rather drought tolerant but benefit from periodic supplemental watering during periods of drought. Much depends on the ability of the soil to drain adequately.

Looks like the poor palm “baked” near that reflective wall and your consistent 100°+ temperatures daily. You say transplanted which means dug up from one spot and put in another. Or was it planted out of a container? If transplanted, how much of a root ball did you get when you dug it up?
