Trimming Palm Trees to Promote Growth

Article Category: Gardening

Author Name: chickie maxwell

When palm trees are still young, they tend to seem like a bush with a lot of spikes on it. Some palms take a bit longer to grow while others tend to grow faster than other types. There is a way for the owners to mediate and transform a spiky little young palm into a tall proud tree that everyone dreams of.

Required Materials

Of course, people don't just jump into the task and tackle the little young tree. Safety should be utmost in anyone's mind when working in the garden or on just about anything under the sun. Remember to put gardening gloves on since the work will entail some pruning. Wearing safety goggles will be a good idea even though it is not really absolutely necessary. Remember to put on a thick coat or a jacket if one is available and bring out the tree pruners.

The Trimming Job

Now that all the materials and equipment are ready, homeowners can now begin trimming their palm trees. Notice that some of these palms have spikes, thorns, or a form of protective fiber that can cut anyone that attempts to climb up. Many people will be glad they put on their goggles and other pieces of safety gear once they realize the natural defenses that these palms have mustered.

Although one is already properly dressed for the trimming job, people should still be careful when approaching palms. Remember that the safety equipment only serve as a layer of protection. They are not there to make people absolutely invulnerable. So, before going up a ladder or walking closer to a palm to trim it (in case it isn't that tall), take a good look at the branches first.

Find out what branches need to be removed and at what angle one is supposed to reach for it. Note that when people trim their palms, they usually remove all the branches that are touching the ground. Fronds that are situated three to four inches above the ground are usually trimmed right off.

People usually call the lowest fronds of palms as suckers. These usually inhibit the growth of the palm especially when the tree or shrub is still quite young. Once the lower branches and fronds are removed, the tree will be forced to grow from its top thus making it grow faster.

Now, the idea is not to go gung ho and hack branches like crazy. To avoid confusion and to steer clear of any accidents in the offing, it would be best to first mark all the branches that need to be trimmed. Once all the branches and fronds that need to be trimmed off are marked, people can figure out which ones to remove first.

Some people prefer to work their way from the bottom up, which is kind of logical if one is dealing with a rather tall tree. Alternatively, people prefer to remove the fronds that are easiest to reach first. They will then work their way to the other marked branches that are a bit tricky. Remove one or two branches or fronds from palm trees and then step back to gauge is you're getting the desired results and make any necessary adjustments.
