Looking to confirm a deficiency or possibly lethal bronzing

Pretty new to the community and learning. Picked up two coccothrinax argentatas and recently planted them. They're 7gal size and looked like this when purchased. Recently reading up on lethal bronzing, it had me worried that these are symptoms, possible leaf bronzing and necrosis inflorescent. Could this possibly just be a potassium deficiency rather? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

hola JDASH. The newer leaves look great from what I can tell. I don't know about lethal bronzing, but perhaps that is the oldest leaf and usually goes through changes as it browns out. I defer to more experienced minds, but I would just cut that offending one off.

I find fruit drop,like you pictured, fairly common for my palms under several conditions. Recent transplant, drought, cold, and their first few attempts to flower. The oldest leaf, to me, doesn’t look abnormal. 
 

Are you giving them plenty of water?

Looks like transplant shock (cultural) issue

they are receiving good amount of water since planted. good to know they don't look abnormal, will continue to water and monitor

I agree with above…. It just looks pretty beat up, but will likely grow out of it with good care, feeding,  and establishment over time.  You shouldn’t have to flood it with water in the dry season.  Just regular watering.  These grow naturally around here in dry, sunny, sandy spots.  They are pretty drought tolerant, especially during the cooler dry season.  Very slow growers though.   Great looking palms over time with the ribbon leaflets and silver undersides.

Root damage (hypoxic dysfunction, rot) from overwatering can also produce leaf loss like this. Just a reminder
