| Troy, Your Alexandra could have an infestation of palm dart butterfly larvae by the sounds of it. They are green catapillars that roll the leaflets over and chew them giving them a tattered look. Many of the commercial insecticides such as Maldison should work. As for palm leaves not dropping off, it depends very much on the species of palm. Some are notorious for this, such as the Queen (Cocos), Cotton, and most date palms. I steer away from these and go for only self cleaning types (most palms are self cleaning anyway) Hope this helps.
