Palms are trees but as monocots are more closely related to grasses.  Like a woody plant they have a stem(s) and from time to time will need maintenance, cleaning and care.

Despite our SE Qld climate being suited to growing healthy palms, these beautiful additions to your garden are prone to several ailments including:


  • Over watering is a common mistake that can result in mineral deficiency and the palm going into decline. The fronds will turn yellow or brown and the waterlogged root system becomes smelly due to rot.
  • Boron deficiency is commonly found in the feather frond palm group eg. queen, royal and foxtail palms. New fronds emerge deformed, and the palm may die if not treated.
  • The sugarcane weevil and lessor coconut weevil attack many varieties of palms. The larval stage of these insects leaves obvious signs of their presence, and the palm will need regular treatment to manage the infestation.
