A palm tree gives your garden a tropical feel, something special, something eye-catching among the native trees and plants. That is when they are well looked after! As they grow, they get tall and can be hard to maintain. The hanging foliage, known as fronds, can become an eyesore instead of something beautiful. They can even become dangerous and damage neighbouring buildings. Our Newcastle tree removal professionals are here to help!
It's no small task to prune and trim a palm tree! The spikes on the leaves from a palm tree are sharp, cut through skin, or even take out an eye. Cutting one down, you may think, compared to other more giant trees, would be easy. But this can be a dangerous task between the tree's weight and the sharp and spiky leaves. That's why here at Cutting Edge Tree Maintenance, we always recommend using a professional climbing team to care for your palm trees.
When Should I Prune My Palm Trees?
If you notice dead or dying fronds on your palm trees, you should consider pruning them. As palm trees grow, the older fronds start to go brown, sag, and eventually fall off.
Removing these fronds at the right time prevents damage from breakage and fire hazards and even stops pests like rats, insects, and snakes from nesting among the dead foliage. Just as significantly, it will help with the overall health of your palm tree.
What Should I Avoid When Pruning My Palm Trees?
Many gardeners, amateurs and professionals alike, make the mistake of over-pruning, removing healthy fronds when pruning or trimming their palm trees. This mistake can weaken the tree, damaging its health. In addition, removing too much foliage stops the process of photosynthesis, leaving the tree hungry for nutrients.
Can I Prune The Tree Myself?
Of course, you can, but you run the risk of over-pruning the tree, which could kill it. Also, dangerous animals and snakes can live in the tree!
But more than that, our expert arborists know how to care for your tree. They see what fronds to remove and what time of the year is best to prune and keep your palm tree growing strong. They can easily detect illnesses in the tree or the root, and sometimes, it's something that only a trained eye will notice. Our experts can give you expert advice and analysis; call us now for a free consultation.
Your safety! We offer our palm tree maintenance and removal experts the highest training and safety gear standards to ensure we can promote safe work standards on every job. Many people think they can care for a palm tree by themselves, and many regret it. The risk of falling from a tree or having a sharp frond falling on top of you is more common than you think. Don't put yourself or your family in harm's way.
You might think that pruning the palm tree yourself will save you money. But if a heavy leaf or part of the tree falls, you might pay a lot more to repair the damage caused! We will gladly provide you with a free quote. In the long run, it might save you money.

Do I Need To Remove My Palm Tree?
It's unfortunate, but sometimes, a palm tree needs to be removed. There are various reasons you might have to remove a palm tree. One reason is disease and infection. If all the fronds start to discolour or wilt, your tree might need to be removed before it infects the surrounding trees.
Another reason could be roots becoming too big, damaging your property or neighbours. Damage caused to properties and plumbing can be expensive if not dealt with in time.
If the tree becomes big enough, another common cause to remove it is that it grows into a neighbouring property, causing complaints from your neighbours.
But before you even think about removing a tree, talk to a professional! We can treat most sicknesses, look for other options to prevent damage to your property or neighbours, and safely remove trees without damaging surrounding properties.
