When and Why you should trim your palm Trees
One main benefit of using palm trees on your home property or office is that they require little upkeep. Most palm trees are resistant to the heat of summers and are okay without much water. They require very little pruning, but some pruning is necessary. A palm that isn’t pruned for some time is not only an eyesore, but could present safety hazards as well.
HOW OFTEN?
When you notice old fronds on your palm that are brown, dry and or dead, its time to prune. This is a natural part of a palms life.
Each year, new fronds grow and the older fronds die. Ideally, pruning should only be necessary once or twice a year and should focus on removing dry or dead fronds. Over trimming can cause damage. So, what is the average cost to trim palm trees? Anywhere from $125-$650 for Palms Small to Large.

WHAT HAPPENS TO PALMS THAT AREN’T TRIMMED?
Some may notice that palms in nature are not pruned regularly and wonder why theirs need to be. Palms that are not taken care of can be hazardous. Fronds that are not pruned will fall on their own, which can cause accidents, injury, are very unattractive and can be distracting from the rest of your property.
WHAT HAPPENS TO OVER TRIMMED PALMS?
It is very important to avoid over trimming. It’s tempting to trim more than you need to save time down the road. Fronds that are even partially green should not be removed. Not only will removing green fronds hurt the palm by weakening it, but also it opens the tree up to borers and pests.
HOW TO TRIM YOUR PALMS
It is possible to trim them on your own using the right tools and technique. you will need a long-handled sharpened pruning sheer or a long-handled saw. You should trim by removing the frond as close to the base as possible. Smaller palms are easier to handle on your own. However, to avoid injury a professional with appropriate equipment should handle tall palm trees.
