Is there something that I could..


Were I work I need to be able to see if a palm tree is alive or dead.

It's missing all the big leafy frond on the top?
Reply:you need to check the heart which is at the top of the palm if it is still green chances are it is still alive remember any damage to the heart will damage or kill the tree the heart is at the top where the fronds grow from
