Frost-Damaged Double Foxtail Palm: One Trunk Declining

Double foxtail with frost damage. Smaller trunk no new growth for months, 3 remaining branches dying. Larger trunk fine. Someone suggested removing smaller trunk but it looks healthy. Can I stimulate new growth?

Expert Advice

Not much but keep roots irrigated and fertilized (3x/year, ~3 lbs each, spread evenly, water in). Stressed trunk will either send new growth or decline. If crown collapses, cut at base and remove—won't harm healthy trunk.
