When is the last time your palm trees were trimmed? Did you know they need to be trimmed?

 

 

There are several species of Palm Tree commonly used in San Diego landscaping. Most of these will require occasional pruning, while some will need to be trimmed every 12-24 months.

 

Palm trees are trimmed for many reasons, including safety, aesthetics and the health of the tree.

 

 

Palm Tree Trimming involves removing palm fronds that are yellow, brown or broken. These dead fronds have the potential to fall and cause damage. Many palm fronds are quite large and have sharp spines and edges that could be very dangerous if they were to fall onto a person or animal.

 

 

Palm Tree Trimming includes removing the palm flower and fruit stalks. Though natural, the formation of fruit and seeds can actually weaken the tree unnecessarily. Removing the flowers and fruit frees up nutrients that will benefit new fronds, roots and storage reserves. The fruit produced by palm trees can serve as food for pests and will later drop, making a mess and possibly staining concrete surfaces.
