my torbay palm now has been cut down to about a foot high and has now got a shoot at the side so i know it isn't dead, but there is an awful smell coming from the trunk that is left, what can i do about getting rid of the smell

If it smells, its got slime flux - if the shoot is coming up from the base, off the roots in the soil, in other words, cut the stem right down as far as you can.
