Three rules that apply to everything
- Never in frost or extreme sun. The plant suffers and cuts heal worse.
- Clean, sharp tools. Disinfect between plants so you don't spread disease.
- Dead or diseased branches, at any time. No need to wait.
Palms and the red palm weevil
Palms are pruned between May and September, always with preventive treatment against the red palm weevil. If you see drooping central fronds or fronds with holes, let us know as soon as possible.
For anything you'd rather not do yourself, we offer professional pruning with debris removal included.
