Beautiful and full of unique features. Palm trees can add so much beauty to the areas where they’re planted. Yet, removing them can be quite a task. This post will explore this subject.</p>
<h3>Palm trees can die prematurely</h3>

<p>Did you know that it only takes a bad trimming job to destroy a palm tree completely? The facts show that palm trees, although majestic, can be greatly affected if their fronds are over-trimmed. This would then require you to remove the whole palm tree. And that’s quite a task</p>
<blockquote readability=”16.117307692308″><p>If you cut the bud off a plant before it flowers, it can no longer produce a flower. Palm trees work in a similar way with their leaves (fronds) are part of an ever flowering bud. If you remove it, the palm tree will not continue to grow. The stump will dry out and die.</p>
<p>At this point, your will need to look at getting your palm tree removed as the trunk will only become unstable in time.</p>
<p>Palm tree stump removal can also be carried out at this time, or it can be left in the ground to rot. <a href=”https://www.gotreequotes.com/what-happens-when-you-cut-the-top-off-a-palm-tree/” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener noreferrer nofollow external” data-wpel-link=”external”>Read more at Go Tree Quotes</a></p></blockquote>
<p>If you find yourself in a situation where your palm tree fronds have been destroyed, then you can be sure that’s the death of the tree. You can as well begin planning for palm tree removal.</p>
<h3>Palm trees can be heavy</h3>

<p>Mature palm trees are majestic in height, they grow much taller than other trees. So, you’re likely to spot them from a distance. Yet, the older they are, the more the stump thickens to support their height and keep them steady. So, if you need to remove a mature palm tree, you’re in for some laborious work.</p>
<blockquote readability=”19.143239625167″><p>How hard is it to remove a palm tree?</p>
<p>Palm trees are very heavy and can damage nearby structures, so consider hiring a tree removal company. If you wish to remove the tree yourself, save the tree for replanting by digging up the roots or eliminate it by trimming it gradually with a chainsaw. Work slowly to ensure that the palm tree comes down safely.</p>
<p>How hard is it to dig out a palm tree?</p>
<p>Although palms are generally easier to transplant than similarly sized broadleaf trees because they produce new roots near the base of the plant and require a relatively small root mass, digging the palm up properly will make the process easier and increase the palm’s likelihood for survival and rapid establishment in. <a href=”https://www.seniorcare2share.com/how-to-remove-palm-tree/” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener noreferrer nofollow external” data-wpel-link=”external”>Read more at Senior Care 2 Share</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Both removing or digging out a palm tree call for careful planning and execution so that the process is risk-free.</p>
<h3>The stump is problematic</h3>

<p>Say you have successfully cut down the palm tree and are left with the stump. You may feel like leaving it in the ground and using it as a natural chair or table. But what if you need to use the space for something else?</p>
<blockquote readability=”18.087748344371″><p>The look of a palm tree would immediately give anyone a tropical vibe. These tropical trees have a hundred thin roots that only expand in length and not in size like other trees.</p>
<p>So the older the palm tree the deeper the roots grow. It may take a while to reach the root ball since the hair-like branches of roots may get in the way.</p>
<p>Roots of young palm trees are shallow and can be easily removed by hand. However, old palm trees may take hours or even days to remove.</p>
<p>So, if you have the old ones, brace yourself for a day of physical labor, or let’s just say a workout. <a href=”https://www.seniorcare2share.com/how-to-remove-palm-tree/” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener noreferrer nofollow external” data-wpel-link=”external”>Read more at Our Garden Works</a></p></blockquote>

<p>If you cut down a tree, you’ll have to also consider what should be done to the tree stump. Should you convert it to an outdoor table or chair? You could. But if you need to use the space for other things, then you may want to consider stump removal. But then again, it isn’t a cup of tea…</p>

<p>Well, with all those considerations for stump removal, you may also be tempted to think that all you need to do is wait it out and the stump will slowly go away. Well, that’s true, but that may be a very long wait!</p>
<blockquote readability=”15.5587808418″><p>If you prefer to go au naturel, a tree stump will rot and disappear in anything from seven to 1000 years depending on the size and type of tree. It is a rather long wait if you have plans to landscape your garden in the next couple of years.</p>
<p>Some professionals may recommend chemical decomposition. More often than not it is considered too slow to be efficient.</p>
<p>The more feisty amongst us may decide to torch the tree stump and go out with a bang. This is not feasible as the ground moisture around the stump makes burning difficult. The fact that the stump is so deep in the ground that oxygen basically runs out and starves the fire even before it could go very deep. <a href=”https://www.atreem.com.au/post/stumped-by-questions” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener noreferrer nofollow external” data-wpel-link=”external”>Read more at Atreem</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Even using boiling water to kill the root system may require a long time before the stump is completely removed.</p>

<p>One of the critical facts to remember about tree stump removal is that there is a root system to worry about. How do you ensure that no residue is left behind?</p>
<blockquote readability=”29.142857142857″><p>Digging out a tree stump is one way to remove it from your yard, but it can require time-consuming work that can be potentially destructive to your yard or garden. This method allows you to remove as many tree roots as possible and ensure that the stump doesn’t continue to grow. To save time and effort, consider hiring a professional with digging equipment to handle the job.</p>
<p>Here’s how to dig a tree stump out of the ground:</p>
<p>Dig around the stump, exposing as many roots as possible.</p>
<p>Use a chainsaw, hatchet, or handsaw to cut the larger roots. As you continue digging, you may find smaller roots that can be cut with clippers or loppers.</p>
<p>Once you’ve cut all of the roots around the stump, lift and remove the stump from the ground.</p>
<p>Fill the hole with dirt and cover it with topsoil or mulch.</p>
<p>Note: This process can take multiple hours of labor, depending on the size of the tree stump and the root structure. <a href=”https://www.thisoldhouse.com/landscaping/22379437/how-to-kill-a-tree-stump” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener noreferrer nofollow external” data-wpel-link=”external”>Read more at This Old House</a></p></blockquote>

<p>A mature tree presents a challenging task when it comes to tree relocation. This is because you cannot just pluck it out of the ground and move it to your desired spot. You have to take into account its root structure, the soil around it, and the location you want to move it to. Mostly around 50% of trees don’t survive relocation, but here is how you can do it perfectly;</p>
<blockquote readability=”18.132667617689″><p>A tree cannot be transplanted by simply uprooting it and placing it in a pit dug elsewhere. The process involves multiple steps and requires significant expertise.</p>
<p>First, the soil around the tree is dug up to isolate the roots. The big branches are lopped off, leaving only small shoots for regeneration. This is done to make transportation of the tree to the new location easier.</p>
<p>The root system is covered with wet gunny bags to protect the roots and to keep the tree hydrated. The tree has to be first sent to a nursery to acclimatise to a new kind of soil, and to regenerate. Once new shoots start sprouting, the tree is lowered into a pit created in its new spot. <a href=”https://indianexpress.com/article/explained/trees-transplant-cost-procedure-7334311/” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener noreferrer nofollow external” data-wpel-link=”external”>Read more from Indian Express…</a></p></blockquote>

<p>The best time to relocate trees is around fall, late winter, or early spring. The tree relocation should be done after leaves fall in autumn or right before new buds break in spring. You want to move your tree when it is not so active to give it an easy time in the new location. Here is some more tips for you;</p>
<blockquote readability=”10.492957746479″><p>Move a deciduous tree in early spring before it begins to leaf out or early fall after the leaves begin to turn color. Don’t move evergreens during a growth flush or in the fall when it’s too late for them to become established before winter weather arrives. Late summer is usually a good time to move evergreens. Tree and shrub roots extend well beyond the volume of soil that you will be able to move. Prune the roots to a manageable size well in advance so the cuts will have time to heal before transplanting trees and shrubs. If you plan to transplant in the spring, prune the roots in the fall, after the leaves drop. If you want to transplant in the fall, prune the roots in the spring before the leaf and flower buds begin to swell. <a href=”https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/trees/tgen/transplanting-trees.htm” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener noreferrer nofollow external” data-wpel-link=”external”>Read more from Gardening Know How…</a></p></blockquote>

<p>Each homeowner has a different landscaping strategy for their home. For some, they go wild and let nature be. But for others, the trees have to be planted in a specific way. And if one tree is out of place, it’s time to move. It can also be that the tree is becoming a safety hazard but you don’t want to cut it down, you would rather move it.</p>
<blockquote readability=”29.035714285714″><p>Trees do more than add greenery, fruit, or flowers to a landscape. People plant trees to shade patios, driveways, homes, and other plants. Sometimes, a tree outgrows the space it lives in and infringes on structures above the ground or plumbing pipes below. Mature trees can grow too closely to power lines and pruning is just not enough.</p>
<p>Conditions around a tree can change. For example, the city might add a sidewalk, the neighbor puts up a fence, or the garage fills, forcing the shiny family car out to the driveway and under a bird-loving tree.</p>
<p>Some people move to a home with established trees that were planted too close to the house, with the wrong sun exposure, or in a spot where deer or elk are damaging it. Transplanting a tree can prevent damage to a car, roof, and people—or save the tree itself. <a href=”https://www.bobvila.com/articles/how-to-transplant-a-tree/” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener noreferrer nofollow external” data-wpel-link=”external”>Read more from Bob Villa…</a></p></blockquote>

<p>One of the things that is clearly visible about palm trees apart from their height, is that they also have very rough trunks. But at times you will come across a specific kind that has a very smooth trunk. You may even be tempted to hug it. So how do you make the rough kind to have a smooth trunk? Here you go:</p>
<blockquote readability=”15.466666666667″><p>A pruning saw is usually the best tool for cutting back fronds on your palm’s trunk. Trim at the base close to the trunk but never make contact between your saw’s blade and the trunk itself. Any cuts on your palm’s trunk won’t heal and will leave an easy access point for diseases or pests. If any fronds are growing at an angle greater than 90 degrees, they shouldn’t be touched.</p>
<p>You can also use a chain saw to trim your palm tree, but extreme care is needed to ensure you don’t accidentally cause lasting damage to your plant. If your palm is very tall or in need of extreme trimming with a chain saw, it’s better to call a professional to keep yourself and your palm tree safe. <a href=”https://www.hunker.com/13428964/how-to-make-a-palm-tree-smooth” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener noreferrer nofollow external” data-wpel-link=”external”>Read more from Hunker…</a></p></blockquote>

There are three options you can add to your list, these are The Natural Cut, The 9 to 3 cut, and The 10 to 2 cut. The last two are in reference to clock hands. So you put your hands in their clock pattern and cut off everything else below them.</p>
<blockquote readability=”15.274559193955″><p>Natural cut is when you trim only the dead fronds leaving all the green leaves untouched. Notice that old leaf bases near the top have been trimmed in a beautiful diamond pattern.</p>
<p>The 9 to 3 cut is when you put hands of the clock on 9 and 3 and then remove all the fronds below that. Basically, the leaves would be parallel to the ground. This is the most popular cut that most palm owners use. It’s still healthy and leaves plenty of fronds.</p>
<p>The 10 to 2 cut is when you put hands of the clock on 10 and 2 and then remove all the fronds below that. Palms with this type of cut are considered to be over pruned. Many landscapers use this cut to lessen the frequency between trimmings so they have to do it only once a year instead of multiple times a year. <a href=”https://www.florida-palm-trees.com/expert-advice-how-to-prune-a-palm-tree-with-pictures/” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener noreferrer nofollow external” data-wpel-link=”external”>Read more from Florida Palm Trees…</a></p></blockquote>

<p>Should you go ahead and trim your palm trees every day? Not at all. There are good times for you to do tree trimming. Those should include when you notice that your fonds are dying and or if you notice the tree has overgrown and it needs to reclaim its previous look.</p>
<blockquote readability=”12.387755102041″><p>Think about cutting back a palm tree if you notice dead or dying fronds. Removing these will help the health of your plant and encourage new growth that is more resistant to disease.</p>
<p>Pruning a palm tree can also benefit the plant if you remove leaves that are blocking sunlight from reaching other parts of the tree or preventing water and nutrient flow through its system. Also, cutting back a palm tree will help it look tidier in your yard. Just be careful not to cut off too much at once. Also, avoid pruning your palm tree in the hot summer months as this can cause serious damage to leaves and stems. <a href=”https://cuttersedgepro.com/cutting-palm-tree/” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener noreferrer nofollow external” data-wpel-link=”external”>Read more from Cutters Edge…</a></p></blockquote>

<p>Pruning can be likened to training a wild horse. Those who train them attest to the fact that they break the will of the horse without breaking its spirit. The process teaches the horse to do as the trainer or final owner instructs it to do. Pruning also trains a fruit tree to be productive. Well, it may be difficult to liken a plant and an animal, so here’s a snapshot of the importance of pruning.</p>
<blockquote readability=”5″><p>Therefore we prune to achieve one or more of the following:</p></blockquote>

<p>You’ll be amazed that although trees are not animals, they too can be trained through pruning at an early age. And if that is done successfully, you’ll enjoy an easier time of pruning in later years.</p>
<blockquote readability=”14.376675603217″><p>Most fruit trees don’t need pruning annually once they have been trained. Initial fruit tree pruning is important to help young trees produce thick stems and open canopies where light and air can enter and promote flowering, as well as reduce fungal and bacterial diseases. The best time for pruning fruit trees is at planting and in subsequent years, in early spring before buds break and trees are still dormant.</p>
<p>Pruning should be undertaken at planting time where you cut the new stem off 24 to 30 inches (61-76 cm.) from the ground and remove any side shoots. This causes the new tree to grow low branches and balances growth and the root system to keep the plant from getting top-heavy during establishment. <a href=”https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/fegen/fruit-tree-pruning.htm” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener noreferrer nofollow external” data-wpel-link=”external”>Read more at Gardening Know How</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Well, you also need to manage your expectations because the first three years may not yield fruits. But the wait will be worth it in the end after investing in pruning in the early years.</p>

<p>It’s important to note that tree pruning is also a skill. You don’t just cut away at any part of the tree. There are specific places to target as the following post describes:</p>
<blockquote readability=”21.215559157212″><p>What Parts to Cut Away</p>
<p>a: Chop off suckers that originate from below ground.</p>
<p>b: Chop off low-growing branchlets.</p>
<p>c: Chop off branchlets that want to compete with the dominant central trunk or leader.</p>
<p>d: Chop off branchlets that grow inward or rub against the trunk or other branches.</p>
<p>To keep a tree healthy and productive, these above-mentioned sections are the most important to trim off, even though it might feel like a shame to prune off healthy and good looking new growth. To do the job right, it’s important to know when to cut, what to cut, how much to cut, and how to do the cutting. <a href=”https://dengarden.com/landscaping/How-to-prune-fruit-trees” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener noreferrer nofollow external” data-wpel-link=”external”>Read more at Dengarden</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Of course, you also have to have the right tools for pruning, otherwise, you may end up damaging the fruit tree instead of helping it thrive.</p>
