My Bismarkia palm is over 15 feet tall and sits in a sunny spot with lots of room to grow in Central Florida. I purchased it this past March; while there is good production of fronds the growth is upward and I would like to see some of the fronds grow out instead of up to get a fuller tree. Any suggestions?

I have a 15 foot bismark that is about 7 years old . It is my showpiece in the front yard. I have noticed that the fronds are splitting at the trunk up the frond about 8″ and are turning brown. These are quite large fronds but this has not happened at all before. I do trim the older ones as they turn brown with a chain saw at the trunk but the fronds did not have this split up the length before. It is like the base of the frond makes a Y with the stalk of the frond. I see this even on the newer fronds that are not mature yet. What is going on ??

Do you know why the bismark palm is called that, that is, “Bismark”?

Hi all, I am so worried about our beautiful 8 year old bismarckia that in just one week has begun to show graying and withering of the fronds.

It’s stopped sprouting the lead frond. It’s getting plenty of water, and is direct sunlight, but the branches are sagging, the fronds are curling up and I am afraid it’s going to die very quickly.

Any help would be appreciated.

I have large bismark palm about 5 yr old it is dropping its frons. I have not seen this before and I have bismarks for at least 15 years. The frons are perfectly green with their natural colar but the frons simply detach themselves from the trunk. Can you give me some insight as to what may be happening. Is it some type of disease or other problem?

Large bismarkia palm again sprouting seedlings from under many palm connections to root. They seem to deteriate the palm they are growing out from under. How is best way to remove these large seedlings, or are you nor to remove them? Each year or so they return in new area. The tree is like 10 yrs old very large (15-18 ft tall) I would not want to harm it.

Hi Carl. It sound like nutrient deficiency. Heavy rains can was away all the fertilizer leaving your palm without important nutrients. Use slow release fertilizer and give the palms few month to recover. Susan Brian
