There is likely more freeze damage underneath and the brown sheath will provide some protection while the plant is healing. I would leave them to shed on their own.

While it has new green growth, the fronds are mostly brown from freeze damage. Should I cut back the brown fronds or leave it to shed the brown naturally?

But I've been buried in programming tasks and the poor garden has been neglected. So it is tough to say whether the plants are sulking from the heat and lack of rain or because they miss me? How's your garden holding up? Water restrictions there yet? There's a Mercer Sale tomorrow. Not sure I want to plant anything in this heat, but I'm pretty sure I want to go check things out anyhow. :D Jerry's Jungle sale is coming the 3rd and 4th too.
