Interesting that you should comment on the palms in need of pruning. The Washingtonians that are in the median strip along Buena Vista all have what is known as beards. They are actually dead fronds that have draped down over the trunk. Eventually each frond will they will fall off. I learned all this when we were discussing some changes in our yard with a landscaper, just yesterday. She said it is one way of taking care of the palms!! However, not the best way. As the fronds die they should be removed. It does not harm the tree not to remove them but in her opinion it looks "messy".
