 think this is a king palm (not 100% sure). Here are some photos I just 
took today to show a possible problem.  Up until today I thought this was 
normal, but when I push on the tree, it sway very easily and I can see the

trunk move at the ground.  Nothing appears wet or eaten by insects - 
everything I can see and touch is hard like a normal tree.

Anyway, anyone who can share some info about this tree - is this normal or

not, etc - would be very much appreciated.

If you send me an email, please post to this newsgroup also as I do not 
check this account daily.

Thanks in advance!

Good pictures!  Was the tree always smaller in diameter at the bottom that

way? That does NOT look good. And, based on the symptoms, I don't know if 
I'd park a car near it in windy weather.

You might want to call your local cooperative extension office ASAP, and 
send or bring them these pictures.
