Palm Diseases in the LandscapeAUTHOR: D. R. Hodel

“Several major, potentially lethal diseases can attack landscape palms in California. The best strategy for managing these diseases is an integrated pest management approach that combines prevention, exclusion, sanitation, appropriate species selections, and proper care. Selecting the right palm for the right spot then planting and caring for it properly are critical in order to avoid most diseases.”

• Shiny, black, diamond-shaped fruiting bodies are diagnostic for diamond scale, caused by Phaeochoropsis neowashingtoniae.

• Diamond scale has destroyed chlorophyll in portions of this California fan palm (Washingtonia filifera), creating brown, dead areas.

• Fusarium wilt usually appears first in older or lower leaves and moves upward to the center or newest leaves.

Here the entry is open and generous and visible.This makes it easy for fresh energy to enter.

Dead plants at the entry are particularly inauspicious.

upward mobility.

Here the scale of plants matches the scale of the house. They all look like they fit together.
