Well okay...maybe I see their point, but isn't a tree just as beautiful. I think we may be bias here as we all love our plants more:)<br />Candy, it sounds like you have an amazing palm. It depends on where you are living...but to skin my palm here and trim it up was just a couple hundred bucks and about 100 every year after the initial "clean up". We have a lot of palms here so it can be expensive:) In the beginning, my rule of thumb was to call in three arborists and see what they recommended and how much it all cost.....then I chose carefully. A tip. Listen carefully to what they have to say....the one I chose was the one who did what was best for the health of the tree.....and I haven't been disappointed with his work/art.Rohrerbothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02136631378931478644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-2027158996652204232010-09-28T13:39:22.235-07:002010-09-28T13:39:22.235-07:00Great information!

I thought I was buying a small palm and should have asked someone at the nursery some questions. Now the thing is twice the size of my two story house. Andddddd it has never been trimmed of the dead palm fronds. It would cost about $1,000 or more and we don't have the money.<br /><br />So there is a lesson here. Ask questions from your nursery people before you buy!Candice Suter.....Sweetstuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03439964856042558664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-62452799074781746022010-09-28T09:41:54.083-07:002010-09-28T09:41:54.083-07:00What great information and I am sure that you will...What great information and I am sure that you will help many people with such helpful tips. As a Certified Arborist, I spend much of my time going over and over them. Many of my clients have to be talked out of topping their trees because they do not want their view of the surrounding mountains obscured....sad isn't it?Noelle Johnson https://www.blogger.com/profile/12198931083102476324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-7193977425293958942010-09-28T08:05:38.861-07:002010-09-28T08:05:38.861-07:00That was great information.

We aren't lucky enough to have trees as old as yours but as our trees grow, we may need that. I know of one branch on our locust that will need to be pruned this winter as it is on the patio cover and way to low to walk under. It's a good size so we'll probably use the technique.Gardener on Sherlock Streethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11367115529793643362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196318759342517444.post-23960234449623926662010-09-28T01:06:46.637-07:002010-09-28T01:06:46.637-07:00Thank you for sharing.
