Came home one day and saw one of the Roebelenii Palm heads was leaning over to the point it was almost on the ground. After closer inspection I found ants on the trunk and a hole. I had my exterminator get rid of the ants, but now I don't know if tree is viable.

Should I just:
  1. Put a brace of some kind on it and prop it up? If it will continue to grow and eventually stand on its own.
  2. Chop off the one trunk? If it will eventually die anyway.
  3. Replace the whole thing? If the other 2 trunks will not survive due to removing the 1 bad trunk.
