11. Palm Diseases in the Landscape
AUTHOR: 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.”

are diagnostic for diamond scale, caused by
Phaeochoropsis neowashingtoniae.

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.
