Palm tree help
I fear my landscaper may of pruned my palm too much last summer.... Looking really bad. Any recommendations for palm tree help?

Try taking pictures and contacting master gardener, they have meetings several times per month at 3 or 4 locations in the villages, these are generally advertised in the daily sun. Also, if you are correct, please provide the name of the landscaper so we can avoid using them.
On a side note, do you fertilize the palms using the special palm fertilizer, 3 times a year? I have 4 palms, and use around 40 pounds per year on them, and they look very good. |
I'm no expert but have been doing some reading on Palms a little since I moved here. Some Palms should never be trimmed because they go into shock. I think that"s why you see many with dead fronds that look like they should be trimmed.

Palms do not need to be trimmed as many of the so called experts advise around here. Do some reading and investigation on your own. You will find the most beautiful palm trees around here do not get trimmed unless a potential hazard exist. Good info to contact our local experts, not the "lawn care experts".

If they are Queen Palms the bigger mess is the seed pods and the all to abundant berry and flower crop they produce.
Ours must be overly prolific as they need to be "cleaned out" twice per year to avoid the mess of dropping flowers and seeds.....very big seeds and so very many of them!!! |
