Palm trees are popular not just for their aesthetic appeal, but also because they are simple to maintain. As a result, you’ll need to keep your palm tree pruned and trimmed regularly. Why? Continue reading!
To avoid harm
If you decide to go all-in on the whole, I don’t have to care for my palm tree thing, be aware that you’ll eventually run into some issues—and those issues might harm your environment, your visitors, and even your palm tree. A palm grows heavier as it matures, sections of it die, and it weighs down on the tree. Those lifeless, brown bits will eventually shatter, crack, and fall to the ground if you don’t care for them. We probably don’t need to remind you how dangerous this is for your business—the last thing you want is a piece of palm tree breaking off and hitting an employee, a client, or a friend. Furthermore, who knows what material harm could be inflicted if sections of your palm tree break off—customers’ cars, you’re other landscaping, or even your commercial property.
To Help Your Trees Succeed
Pruning and trimming your palm trees ensures that nothing stands in their way of their becoming stronger, healthier, and more beautiful. Why? Because many types of palm trees will become heavier as they mature, weighing down on themselves and potentially breaking or cracking off pieces. Pruning and trimming your palm trees, much like other plants, will eliminate those heavy portions, old growth that’s stifling new growth, and dead waste that’s weighing down on your tree. A well-kept palm will flourish! Just be careful not to over-prune or trim—your palm relies on those green fronds for sustenance, and if you remove too many of them, you risk stunting its growth.
Hurricane Season Preparation
This kind of fits under the “damage” category, but because it’s so important in Florida, we decided to separate it. It’s anyone’s guess what will happen when hurricane season arrives, which is why it’s critical to take care of your palm tree trimming now before the season arrives. The last thing you want is 70 mph winds whipping around your neglected palm tree, causing who knows what kind of harm.
To have a well-kept appearance
Of course, keeping your palm trees cut and maintained is a good idea. Landscapes make the initial impression on a commercial property, so aesthetics are important. Keeping your palm trees clipped and trimmed ensures that they appear tidy and well-maintained, demonstrating that you care about your property, your clients, and your commercial business (which is a good thing).
Trimming Palm Trees
Palm tree trimming and pruning don’t have to be tough, but you should avoid over-pruning or over-trimming. Palm plants require those healthy, young, green fronds to ensure a consistent food supply, which contributes directly to their growth. You can kiss your thriving palm tree goodbye if you remove too many of those evil boys! When you begin trimming your palms, be careful not to over-prune them; only remove the dead, heavy pieces that are dragging your tree down.
