Went to a VHA presentation by the Head of the District Landscaping where he discussed the maintenance of the landscaping in the Villages. He discussed trimming the Palm trees. Due to the number of Palm Trees (I don't remember the number but was well above 10,000 trees) and, the fact, to eliminate the palm fronds from falling, they would need to trim at least a couple of times per year at a cost of $50 -$100 per trimmed tree. He said they just do not have the budget for that. He did say that they are starting to trim select Palm trees in highly used areas.
