palm trees: Palm Trees Are Happy Not Being Trimmed
- 12/16/14 01:11 AM
Palms, the iconic tree of South Florida, exist in most Key West yards. My yard included, because of my husband’s passion for them, has endless varieties surrounding my home. Those palms have taken off over the years with the benefit of our warm sunny climate and some fertilization. Many are now 20 to 30 feet tall, which presents a real challenge for trimming. Good news, according to Sara Edelman, Palm Manager at the Fairfield Tropical Garden: very little palm trimming is necessary and can often be harmful to the tree itself.
