I have this Majesty Palm tree planted in my yard. It's never looked real healthy, but recently, I noticed this black, tar looking stuff growing on one of the main fronds. Seems to be isolated to the east facing side of the stem. Tree gets 6-8 hours of direct sun everyday.

Anyone seen this before? If so, please advise what it is and how to treat it if known.

Thanks a million!

Since you're a paid subscriber, you might try the Palm & Cycad forum, that's where you're most likely to find the palm experts.
