I think many of these comments are referring to the Washingtonia palm tree, which traditionally, have fronds hanging down and this is known as a "skirt." These particular palms are NEVER trimmed. Other palms yes -- they should be trimmed but not so much that they almost form a point. If you picture the letter "T", any fronds hanging below the arms of the T should be trimmed but if the fronds are in the form of arms straight out, those fronds should not be trimmed.
Lesson over!

Is that for the health of the tree, or does that merely satisfy what has become the esthetic norm?
BTW, historically, the OP of this thread typically writes posts expressing his disillusionment with all things pertaining to The Villages. We're reaching pretty far here, complaining about the palm trees.
