What To Look For

Signs You Have Palm Weevil Damage

Oozing sap or frass on the trunkA wet, fermented-smelling residue leaking from the trunk is one of the earliest and clearest signs of an active infestation.

Wilting or drooping frondsFronds that suddenly droop or yellow, especially newer growth in the crown, often signal internal feeding damage.

Visible holes in the trunkEntry and exit holes from adult weevils are sometimes visible, particularly near the crown or previous pruning wounds.

Crown collapse in advanced casesOnce the growing point is destroyed, the entire crown can collapse — at this stage, treatment is usually too late.

Our Approach

How We Handle Palm Weevils

Palm Inspection

We check the trunk, crown, and fronds for early warning signs before damage becomes visible from a distance.

Targeted Treatment

Treatment aimed at stopping active feeding, timed to give the palm the best chance of recovery.

Nearby Palm Check

We inspect other palms on the property, since weevils can move between stressed or recently transplanted trees.

Ongoing Monitoring

Palm health checks are built into our lawn and ornamental care plans to catch problems early.

Common Questions

Palm Weevil FAQ

Can a palm tree be saved after weevil damage?

It depends how far the infestation has progressed. Caught early — before the crown collapses — many palms respond well to treatment. Once the crown has fully collapsed, removal is usually the only option.

How do I know if my palm has weevils?

Look for oozing sap or frass near the trunk, wilting or drooping fronds, and holes in the trunk. Any of these on a palm warrants an inspection before the damage progresses further.

Will weevils spread to my other palms?

Palm weevils can move between palms on a property, especially stressed or recently transplanted trees, which is why we check nearby palms during an inspection, not just the one showing symptoms.

Is palm weevil treatment part of a regular lawn care plan?

Palm health checks are included in our lawn and ornamental care plans, with active weevil treatment scoped separately based on the palm's condition.
