I need advice! I have been growing needle palms in my yards at my last 2 houses for several years and have never had a problem. I have 8 of them growing now, all planted within the last two years. All of them are doing great except for one. It seems like in a matter of 2 weeks it went from looking great to completely dead. There were no noticeable signs of sickness/ disease. What\'s odd to me is I have 2 other needle palms growing within 10 feet of it and they seem ok. I\'m wondering what killed it and worry for the health of the rest of them. So your help would be greatly appreciated
