Royal Palm Crown Failure: Signs of Terminal Decline

New house with 2 royal palms (~8 ft). Fine until 4 months ago—one drying leaves, falling, now just trunk, no new leaves, top dried. Bottom/trunk green and healthy. Sick? Suggestions to save?

Expert Advice

Indicates failure—cold stress, insects, disease. Frond shedding never normal unless bottom frond fully brown. Green bottom means nothing; life emerges from top as spear. Only hope: new spear emerges. If months pass with only further browning, palm has succumbed.
