Advice on Livistona Decipiens

I got this Livistona Decipiens 3 or 4 years ago and for the past year and a half it has been putting out very deformed fronds - there is not one normal structured frond on it right now. I first thought maybe the freeze we had two winters ago (upper teens) did it but the issue persists to this day. If anything, it is getting worse but it also won’t die. It just keeps putting more and more of these oddly shaped fronds. Any advice would be greatly appreciated because if there is a way to save it, I would like to.

Veitchias do the same thing at my place. I find if I feed them and add in a good commercial brand of trace elements,  that there is something in them that brings them around eventually but it can take 12 months to fully kick in and feeding needs to be regular.

Just for documentation purposes, this did work (new picture attached). It took about 2 years for the palm to turn around but probably would have been sooner if I had started a high quality fertilizer plus frequent watering earlier on in the process. Thank you!

Feed and water it well it should take off.  Is that sandy soil?  These love the rain here in the hot season.

Formerly in Gilbert AZ, zone 9a/9b. Now in Palmetto, Florida Zone 9b/10a??
