driving down 441 i see many many palms that look as if they need trimming.
who could i contact to see if i can help out with taking care of these palms?
I am aware that the frost did alot of damage and you have to get rid of the old limbs so the new can come in.
thank you
This issue of the skirted palms has been discussed on here before. I think what you may find out is that it is a type of palm where the dead fronds are left on the tree and form a natural skirt. I think they look rather nice, or least different.
It really isn't necessary to trim dead fronds to have new ones come in.....the new ones come in at the top of the tree.
