Aack! My palm broke in half!

Cocoa, FL(Zone 9b)

Help & advice? 2:3 of my Arica Palms have broken in half from the main stalk. Look at my photo. Smells like mold/rot. What do I do? Will they come back, or do I need a saw?

Probably from our very cold weather the past couple of months here in Central FL....southern exposure...

Thx

Unfortunately, that is a gonner. I would cut that trunk as low as you can to the ground. You could then apply disease control/fungicide to the remaining stump.
