A palm tree deficiency called Frizzle Top

Back in October '07, we noticed the queen palm has a manganese deficiency called Frizzle Top. Over the past 9 months, I've been treating the tree. It's finally showing signs of new healthy growth.

Frizzle Top manifests itself as deformed growth on the emerging fronds. The new growth will appear stunted and crinkled (courtesy Palm Tree Doctor)

Photo taken Nov 07. You can see the stunted emerging frond at the top center.
