The center leaves of the date palm was brown and fell out so a hole is at the top of the palm tree. Is it dead?

Geneva,

If the top or terminal bud is dead or gone the tree will die. The leaves around the top may stay green for a while but the tree cannot put on new growth.

Thanks for the question. Please stop in again soon!
