Triangle Palm question

[Preston]

We have 2 triangle palms that were planted almost a year ago. They did well during the colder weather in central Florida however with the weather warming, I’ve noticed browning of a few of the fronds, mainly toward the bottom but more than before. Typically one frond at a time. Plus there are a few spots on some fronds toward the middle. This has happened within 3-4 weeks time. Anyone have any experience with this that may point me in the right direction?

It may be that those areas were emergent when the cold came over the winter.

Also, if you share where in Florida you are, it helps. Pensacola and Miami are worlds apart for climate.

That looks healthy to me . I have had a couple for almost 30 years and they do the same thing. Some years are worse than others , I don’t think they like extended periods of cold , wet feet. Harry

Agree with @Harry’s Palms.  They should grow out of it.  It looks like a minor fungal infection from water getting into the crown before it got chilly.  Hope they grow out of it for you and welcome to PalmTalk!

@Preston welcome to Palmtalk!  I'd agree with the other comments.  I have a similarly sized Triangle in the front yard, it took a little burn from a few frosts over the winter.  I'd expect the brown tips on the older fronds are just because it has been hot with zero rain for several weeks.  I'd consider it "normal" for 90F and low humidity.  Overall the palm looks great!
