Good pictures! Was the tree always smaller in diameter at the bottom that
way? That does NOT look good. And, based on the symptoms, I don't know if
I'd park a car near it in windy weather.
You might want to call your local cooperative extension office ASAP, and
send or bring them these pictures.

It looks like it could be from irregular watering. The tree isn't
safe. Have an arborist look at it.

That tree is rotten at the base, it'll come down someday in a strong
storm.

Looking at the bud and fronds it looks like your tree is on it's way
out. Be careful, if you get a lot of rain and high winds it is going
to come down. As for the base, I would not want to climb it to trim
the fronds (Did tree work for 2 years in FL).

It appears to me that the tree is under stress of some kind -- the fronds
are sparse and droopy and the trunk is quite narrow both at the base and
from about 6' above ground all the way to the top. This may be the early
stages of ganoderma butt rot, which is fatal and not curable. Check
information and pictures at www.palmtreedr.com/problems.html. The next
stage will include the growth of a ganoderma conch on the bottom of the
tree.
Other things to consider which might have stressed the tree -- lack of
proper fertilization, putting the tree into decline, or improper
("hurricane-cut") pruning, which removed fronds while they were still
partially green and feeding the main body of the tree.

============================
It's been two days since you posted your message, so you've had time to call
your cooperative extension office and ask them about the problem. And,
today's Tuesday, so we know the office was probably open yesterday and
today.
When you called them, what did they say about this tree?

No, silly. But, his description suggests that the tree is losing its grip on
the ground beneath. I don't know about you, but that sounds analogous to a
55 year old human having chest pains and shortness of breath.

Not to mention the fact that it's so close to the street and walkway..
If a tree falls on someone in the street, do they make a sound? ;)
Yup, and then they sue you.. It's best to let someone "LOOK" at the
thing and make a choice. I'd say the cooperative extension department is
one of the better choices to make as to having someone actually look at
the thing.

Going to work this morning I noticed a palm enroute that is very similar to
the one in your picture. In this one, the fissures go from the ground to
about 5-6 feet height. I still think this may be the early stages of
ganoderma butt rot.
Info is available at http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/PP100
Included in their summary:
-- Ganoderma butt rot is caused by the fungus Ganoderma zonatum. This fungus
degrades or rots the lower 4-5 feet of the trunk.
-- There are currently no cultural or chemical controls for preventing the
disease or for curing the disease once the palm is infected.
-- A palm cannot be diagnosed with Ganoderma butt rot until the basidiocarp
(conk) forms on the trunk, or the internal rotting of the trunk is observed
after the palm is cut down.
-- Because the fungus survives in the soil, planting another palm back in
that same location is not recommended.

Thanks, JR.
"The fungus that causes the disease is distributed throughout Florida,
from Key West to Jacksonville to Pennsacola. It is also known to occur
in Georgia and South Carolina." -- could be it I guess. I'm in Calif
though.
I've had a call in to Ag Ext for several days. I was told that
commercial ag problems get first prioirty and then home gardening
questions. They really understaffed these days.

I thought you would've called the cooperative extension service by now. Do
you know who I mean, what they do, and why they might be a valuable resource

Thanks, Joe. Sorry, I misunderstood.
Yes, I did - and also emailed a link to the photos. Still waiting for
a reply. Likely they are taking off next week for Vet's Day, then the
following 2 weeks for Thxkgv, then there's Christmas. I hope to hear
back from them by 2009.
In the mean time, I'm taking some photos down to the local nursery and
will report back what they tell me.

Added a few close up photos to the bottom of the page. Not in focus,
but as good as I could do.
As you folks know, the Ag Ext is closed on weekends and Monday is a
holiday. So the saga continues.
I printed out these photos and took to the local nursery. They gave
their stock answer.... they had no idea what it was but "you should
try this fertilizer..."

Well- you can tell by the frizzled fronds that the tree is malnourished- is
it regularly fed at all? Minerals too?
And add the base of the trunk to the equation and it spells trouble IMO.

Thanks, it gets the same fertilizer as the rest of the yard/trees -
10-10-10 spring and fall -- or whatever is on the bag. All the other
trees in the yard - fruit, pines - are doing great. But as you can
tell I know nothing about palm trees. Interestingly I was talking to
the next door neighbor about this one. He told me it has looked that
way 15 years ago before I was there.
Will post again when I find out something for the benefit of other
folks.
PS - I'm surprised that there is not a website somewhere with photos
of palm conditions. This must be a common question for the rest of
the suckers out there who have these *useless* non-native trees.

I think this is a king palm (not 100% sure). Here are some photos I
just took today to show a possible problem. Up until today I thought
this was normal, but when I push on the tree, it sway very easily and
I can see the trunk move at the ground. Nothing appears wet or eaten
by insects - everything I can see and touch is hard like a normal
tree.
Anyway, anyone who can share some info about this tree - is this
normal or not, etc - would be very much appreciated.

| Dear friends,
I have been waiting for a reply to both emails and phone calls to the =
Calif Ag Extension. Other than going there in person (300 miles) looks =
like I won't be getting any help from them.
Are there any sites on the internet that show palm diseases? Thanks.

I think this is a king palm (not 100% sure). Here are some photos I just =
took today to show a possible problem. Up until today I thought this =
was normal, but when I push on the tree, it sway very easily and I can =
see the trunk move at the ground. Nothing appears wet or eaten by =
insects - everything I can see and touch is hard like a normal tree.
Anyway, anyone who can share some info about this tree - is this normal =
or not, etc - would be very much appreciated.
If you send me an email, please post to this newsgroup also as I do not =
check this account daily.

When I did a google search using the words "palm tree diseases california",
I noticed a few sites that looked promising among the 1,800,000 search
results. I didn't even have to go past the first page.

Thanks, Joe. I did the same at first also. Unfortunately I could not =
find any photos of disease or pest infestation and I went thru at least =
10 pages of links before I gave up. I noticed that many of the links =
were to the Calif Ag Ext at UC Davis -- which is impossible to get at =
reply from.
