Med. Fan Palm Help?

Poway, CA

I have a Mediterranean Fan Palm (Chamaerops humilis) that, since I recived it from the nursery 3 years ago, has brown spots all over the mature leaves. They are nice and green as they start and progreesively get these spots. I think it's a fungus. What can I do to save the new leaves from this fate...and maybe even cure the effected portion of the plant?

Thanks.

You might want to ask that in the "Palm & Cycads forum".

If it is fungus-

I poured hydrogen peroxide down the crown of a windmill palm for fungus-rotting (I try to garden as naturally /organically and fungicides...well)

Then sprinkled a little cornmeal around the plant.

Full recovery

Thank you both...I'm now two for two on the peroxide recommendation (one on the Palms & Cycads site). Will take that approach straight away.
