Queen Palm Hurricane Snap: Survival If Spear Intact

Broken Frond vs. Broken Crown

If the central emerging frond snapped but the lower half is still attached to the crown, the palm lives. New fronds will emerge. If the entire crown is severed, the palm is dead.

Assessment

Check the crown center. Green, firm tissue = alive. Brown, mushy = dead.
