My bismark is approx 15 years old and in just the last couple years has been throwing out an occasional dead fron.  It otherwise looks healthy.  Any ideas on what might be causing this?

I've seen this happen also. Generally seems to be the first frond produced after a break of winter dormancy,into the spring growing season.

This matches my experience., although now I am alert for signs of the South American palm weevil here in San Diego County.   The weevil shouldn't be a problem there yet.
