can you add a photo. I suspect the old crown is dead and the new growth has come from the first viable bud. I think [but see if any one agrees with me] I would cut out the dead top growth. then the new fronds will take over as the central growth area and it will then look better.

welcome to GoY too

I agree with you - the top's died, no point leaving it in place, best to cut down to where its growing now.
