This is in sun most of the day.
I mist it once a day, several new fronds coming up, but why are their edges brown?
It was inside until the last frost.

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.

That is normal with Date palms. It is not the leaf itself & will peel away in a week or two.

Yep, Laaz is 100% correct.
My PDP (from the same genre) does the exact same thing. As the leaf grows out ward, it will drop those brown strings and you will have a beautiful new leaf.

Yes, ours has it, too. Can be somewhat confusing.

Thanks folks (I was starting to sweat buckets that I had done something wrong!) 😕
Now that you mention it, one brown "string" shown in the first pic is already falling off.
Whew!
Strange phenomenon nevertheless.
