I learned a new word from @Silas_Sancona this week, it's called "Ramenta."  It protects the new leaves during growth, preventing them from sticking together.  It's totally normal.  It's similar to "Tomentum" that grows on the new spears to prevent them from getting stuck in the meristem.

Now I know, too. Natural parts of palm physiology.

Thank you both! That's new to me as well but learning something new especially about plants happens regularly for me.  It seemed like it was natural & now I know what to call it!!
