How to trim your own palms that are no taller than 5ft..
In this video, I'm trimming Mediterranean (Chamaerops humilis) palm.
Again, to homeowners, i dont recommend trimming your own palms for many reasons. The (proper) tools, the trash that adds up, and the time it will take if you dont know how to properly trim a palm...

JJ Snyder that’s what I’m here for 🙏🏼 just be a sure to wear protective wear like heavy duty gloves and he right hand saw or pruner to do the job the right way 🌴🌴🌴

Exactly what I needed. And I agree about using the saw.

It would be nice to see a video on how to treat a Phoenix Canariensis for palm weevil. Great video. I am going to try this technique versus using the loppers next time.

When cutting back a palm tree, don't remove most of the fronds. Some gardeners make the mistake of doing this every year, and the tree becomes weak and unhealthy. In fact, leave as many green fronds as you possibly can on the palm. Palms need many green fronds to produce a steady food supply so that the plant can grow.

BananaJSSI I agree but if a client wants it that way; I’m going to do it. But when they want a natural trim then a natural trim it is 🌴💯

It is true because they are paying you. You have to give them what they want. Cheers

nice palm trees, great work! In Poland, my palms grow rather slowly and such treatments are not needed, but maybe someday someone knows.

give me a suba, you'll see how in February man fights with frost, so that the palms do not freeze. 😁

My palm is 8-12 feet tall and I use the pole pruner because I'm not comfortable on a ladder. Also, can you top these palms?

@JGD185 Жыл бұрын

I read the mature ones can get tall. Is there a way to keep their height down?

Can you transplant the small ones by dividing from main growth of palm?

@mr.benitezhimself 3 жыл бұрын

If a volunteer or “sucker” grows near or next to the main multi trunk Mediterranean fan palm, yes. But I don’t recommend you transplanting the palm by dividing it from its main trunk. Hopefully that makes sense 🌴 great question

@MarcusPettereen-zn8ut 8 ай бұрын

It works well if you cut beetwen the two trunks and all they way down so the little one Get way with a lot of roots I seperated a chamareops humilis with 5 trunks and the live well and grow😊 Just gotta saw throught the whole root system downwards cause the baby trunks are attached to the root underneath too

@mrpuppy1652 3 жыл бұрын

Do you think its possible to skin the trunk of these palms?

@mr.benitezhimself 3 жыл бұрын

You can shave them. But you need a chainsaw. It’s not the same method as skinning the Mexican fan palm or California palm
