Default Re: spear pull on my trachy (windmill palm) what now?

Several different varieties of Trachycarpus are notorious for having spear pull year after year while the palm is young. As they mature, spear pull diminishes... I would remove the emerging spears that come out with slight tugs and then wait and see. I know some friends that have used hydrogen peroxide and others use a copper fungicide poured down the opening. Wish you the best and don't give up on it just yet!
