Queen Palm Tree Diseases

This video explains how to prevent and treat common Queen Palm problems in Arizona, including frizzle top and fusarium wilt.

Important Nutrient Warning

Queen Palms rely almost entirely on manganese — and a small amount of boron — for their immune system. Arizona soil contains no natural manganese, and regular palm spikes do not provide enough. This is why many Queen Palms decline even when people think they are fertilizing correctly.

Watch the video and download the worksheet to learn the correct treatment plan and keep your Queen Palms healthy.

NASA Discovers Microbes in the Sky

In this video, I explain NASA’s recent discovery of microbes living high in the atmosphere. These airborne pathogens can travel around the world, influence how raindrops form, and may introduce new diseases to trees and other plants.

How Rain Makes Trees Sick

These microbes can be carried down by rain, spreading germs from the upper atmosphere into our soil and onto our trees. Watch the video to learn how this process works and what it may mean for tree health in the future.

Chemical Burns in Trees

Chemical burns occur when excess ions around the roots reverse the root membrane, forcing water out of the tree. This leads to leaf burn, wilting, and decline.

Common Causes

  • Toxic substances in the soil
  • Tool or paint-cleaner runoff
  • Drain cleaners (Drano)
  • Gas leaks
  • Insecticide spills
  • Pool salt or chlorine
  • Excess fertilizer
  • Contaminated fill dirt

Treatment

Flood the tree heavily for two weeks to push the chemical deeper into the soil. New buds often appear within 1–2 weeks. Severe cases may require direct trunk injections to bypass damaged roots and boost the tree’s immune system.

After watering for two weeks, leave the tree alone for a year. If leaf problems return, have the tree re‑evaluated.
