Thankyou for sharing this! We moved 7 years ago to FL. Have several palm trees and always wondered how this was done!

Thanks for taking the time to describe what your doing, and why. Much appreciated!

Thanks for the tips. My two Queens are short enough for me to do this myself. I appreciate your guidance. If you were near me I’d hire you for my taller trees.

Great advice, Bino. Thank you for the tips and tricks! I picked up a few from this video and they will definitely help with the pruning of my queen palms.

Looking forward to seeing other videos on proper pruning technique and tree biology! Definitely a weak area of mine

wow Bino what an excellent video, i have done many different types of palm trees. glad that you mention for clients do not like gaff marks, it is tough not to gaff a large date palm. some times there so round even SRS is really challenging but we are tree people its what we do take care of trees

Steve - This exactly what I have been looking for to verify how to "properly" trim/clean a palm tree! Thanks for the details and naming of the different parts of the tree to better help explain to customers.

Thanks for the proper techniques and terminology Bino. I recently heard that you should use rubbing alcohol to sanitize any blades before starting the cutting on palms to prevent the spread of disease from a previous location site.

Just did it for the first time with our 3 meter high palmtree in Spain. Great tips you are more carefull than others. Found it harse to cut in the tree but it looks great now. My tree was at some points very moist not like the dry one you treated.

this video is more interesting than useful to me, due to the lack of palms in my region but you never know with all that global warming . . . Great work!

[confuseatronica]

thanks that was exactly what I was trying to find out

[ericwillman]

Where are you located Bino? Thanks for the video!

That long pole is the safest way to trim. Thank you.

[anthonymotola]

Good video, this guy does it the correct way.

I actually use a cordless sawzall with a torch blade and make very shallow cuts along the bottom of the husk. The cuts are small enough to not leave a scar.

Nice work. Do you by any chance know how to treat a palm for the palm weevil. The phoenix canariensis here in Southern California are being totally wiped out in the past few years and it is awful. No one is doing anything about it and I would love to be able to save some if I can. Thank you.

Bino thank you for your videos, I am learning to climb and your videos have been so informative thank you for what you do.

Is anyone else seeing what I'm seeing in Vegas? Last summer lots were trimmed @ the top down to one prawn/branch & now the trees look to be skinned @ the bottom & top of trunks but in between all the old cut off sticking out & many are bending now about half way up. They look like crap

Very cool Bino 😎 one thing we’ve done for the sake of saving on time since we’ll take on quite a few per job(mostly sable palmettos) is take a chainsaw up the neck instead of your razor method. Is there any reason we should reconsider this technique? It leave the palms pretty nice but I’m not sure whether there’s a layer we could be damaging as a consequence. Thanks for your knowledge! God bless

Hey there my friend, that Queen Palm is the oddest looking one I’ve ever seen, it almost looks like it has some Butia genes in it.


By the way my names Charlie, I just discovered your channel but and I’m your newest subscriber. I look forward to learning from you.

Thanks for taking the time to make and share these videos and for sharing your knowledge with us
