Move it into a heated greenhouse.
Dwarf coconuts at Nambour? You'd best pray for a good bit of global warming.

Hello Nancy, brown palm scale, best thing is just spray with white oil. Brown spots nothing serious just a bit of cold damage it will grow out of it as the weather warms up.

Thank you Brandon, your advise has been very helpful. I will use some white oil and it is good to know I do not have to worry too much about the brown spots. I realise a coconut palm is not a very common fruit tree to grow at the Sunshine Coast but I am keeping my hopes up and am enjoying the challenge:) Cheers, Nancy
