An occasional palm tree trimming will
keep your trees healthy and looking the best. Before trimming it yourself,
think about how difficult it is to do so and also consider having a
professional for this job.
Palm trees, when fully crowned and
mature, need to be trimmed every now and then. A common myth is that frequent
palm tree pruning will make them grow even faster, but the opposite is true.
When too many are removed, growth slows and the tree is more susceptible to
pests and disease. Most palm trees that grow in Gibsonton are suggested to have
regular palm tree trimming to avoid the one time pruning.
Palm tree trimming is almost the
same as any other plants. It is best that you do not trim green leaves off your
palm trees as it slows growth and damages the leaves. Cutting green fronds
leaves a wound in the tree’s living tissue and provides an opening for diseases
as organisms enter. First, remove only the old leaves, which have already
turned brown or yellow. It also is best for you to be very particular in palm
tree trimming because improper trimming could damage the leaves or the trunk
too.
Another thing to know is that palm
tree trimming is almost the same as surgery. Make sure that your equipment are
sterile will lessen the spread of diseases such as fusarium wilt. Make sure
that you soak palm tree trimming saws and shears in a solution of 50 percent
water and 50 percent bleach for at least five minutes to sterilize them.
If possible, ask for professional
assistance. There are professional companies that specialize in tree care.
Otherwise, look for a landscaping service that specializes in palm tree
trimming and care. Before hiring them, ask how they’ll do the job. Avoid those palm
tree trimming companies that offer to trim the tree in unnatural shapes because
this may damage your trees. Always check if the company has credentials that
support their ads and make sure that the palm tree trimming company’s license
is valid and that workers are covered by liability insurance to make sure that
you are not going to be charged for damages in the future.
