Advice on p.Sylvester pods

While deep watering the larger palms during my cold weather protection prep I noticed that one of my two p.Sylvesters had fronds spread wide with no noticeable spear and new growth from the center, like the other one. Upon further inspection (these are about 5’ - 6’ in height) I discovered numerous seed pods and more growing with a modest center spear coming along. The new spear growth looks accordion-like. Is this indicative of a boron problem? Otherwise the tree seems in good shape. Ive had it in the ground for 3.5 years and it is fed granular palm perfect every quarter. Tell me what you see here, and in particular, next steps as soon as this cold snap is over.   Thanks
