There are different kinds of palms. What do you do when the seed pods open and drop hundreds of one inch seeds on your lawn and driveway. The Villages has planted Bearded Palms which don't need to be trimmed. The wind takes care of the fronds. Some people have Queen Palms, hence the seed pods. I get my palm trimmed about 4 times a year.
