Understand the condition.
Choose the next step.

Start with the evidence

The visible symptom is the beginning.

A palm’s present condition can reflect installation history, irrigation, surrounding construction, maintenance, environmental exposure, or several factors together. Pronalys, Groundworks’ professional analysis service, considers that history before recommending a response.

Photographs that help

Show the whole palm and its setting.

Groundworks’ Pronalys page asks for four clear photographs: two of the canopy and two of the trunk base and surrounding three to four feet. Include a wider view of the property when access or nearby work may be relevant. Stand with your back to the sun when practical so the details are visible.

Professional review

Let the findings guide the response.

The next step may be a request for more information, a field consultation, laboratory work, or a discussion of establishment and continuing care. Groundworks will explain the proposed scope before an engagement proceeds. A photograph alone cannot establish every cause or guarantee a recovery.
