Palm tree dieing?

Question

I have a palm tree (I think.) that is dieing.

I am in MN and move it indoors in the winter and outside in the summer. Well it either got too much water or shock from the weather.

It has tall, thin, windy trunks, about 4 of them. The leaves come out of the very tops and are single leaves, they are thin and long and drapy. I am not even sure what type of palm this is. It is quite hardy and I brought it up to MN from Texas where I found it in a trash bin over 15 years ago!

Well, the leaves on 2 of the major trunks have all gone yellow and fallen off. The trunk at the top is starting to shrivel so I cut it where it was still green and that is shriveling too. The other trunks are still doing great with leaves. How do I save it?

Answer 1

The way you decribe it sounds like either a yucca or a plam as there are many different species and sub species of both.

Picture ?

Don't water it for a while.

Answer 2

Palms can be finicky and if you have kept it 15 years that is doing better than mine in the ground!

It might be overwatered or needing fert.

TAKE one of the leaves into the local garden nursery (try to find one that has master gardners) and ask for identity of the palm and suggestions on what to do...

iif you go to a big box store type garden center be careful because most of the people there aren't trained ask for someone that knows what htey are doing.
