Have had a multi trunked (5) one in a pot for years. Well, I've not had good luck of late with my palms. Had this one out a little too early perhaps during some cold and wet weather. Current sunny and warm trend is not helping what has been a fairly quick decline of all but the largest of the set. Are these easy to seperate? And is this common when you have multiple trunks in a pot? A large Majesty has probably given up the ghost after many years due to being outside while we were away for a week in late March. Temps really dropped, and it even got snowed on. Gradually got sicker and sicker, and is now all but toast. I have tried planting it in the ground and am being patient, but don't expect it to recover. Now, this Phoenix is doing the same thing. Kind of like dominoes dropping, each trunk turns brown and brittle. Don't want it to go the way of the Majesty...
