For those of you who need your palms trimmed, please, please, please -- don't let your tree person butcher your palm.
I see so many palm trees that have been pruned upright.
I don't know how else to describe what I see but when they are trimmed that way, the tree is weakened and could split off in high winds.
Let me explain . . . . .
If YOU were a palm tree and held your arms straight out sidewards so that you would look like a "T," that is how your tree should look.
Palm fronds should NOT be trimmed so drastically that what is remaining stands straight up in the air. They should gracefully form a "T" shape.
I see so many palms that have been murdered. Don't let your tree person do that.
