Q: What is the best month to trim palm trees?

• <div><p>You&rsquo;ll want to have your palm trees trimmed during the spring, ideally in May, before hurricane season sets in, which generally takes place during the late summer. Palm trees grow fastest over the summer months. You&rsquo;ll also want to trim your palm trees when you notice:</p><ul><li><p>Brown fronds </p></li><li><p>Dry leaves</p></li><li><p>Flower pods</p></li><li><p>Fruit</p></li><li><p>Fronds overgrown in power lines</p></li><li><p>Frond encroaching upon your neighbor&rsquo;s home or yard </p></li><li><p>Visible damage from a storm</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: What happens if you don’t cut down a tree?

• <div><p>If you don&rsquo;t cut down a dead, dying, or diseased tree, it can become a nesting place for pests like mosquitos, bees, beetles, wasps, fly larvae, and more. Some pests will live in the tree, while others will feed off the decaying wood. Unhealthy trees are also more likely to fall over, potentially injuring people and causing damage to your property.</p></div>

Q: What time of year should you not trim trees?

• <div><p>Generally, avoid trimming trees in the summer (with the exception of pruning fruit trees as needed). Trees use a lot of energy in the summer, most of which is relegated to new growth. If you chop it too early, you could stunt the next season's growth. Again, when in doubt, do some research based on the specific tree type.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain trees on a commercial property?

• <div><p>To maintain trees on a commercial property, perform regular pruning, monitor for diseases, and apply fertilization to promote healthy growth. It is also important to remove any hazardous branches to keep the trees healthy and prevent potential liability issues.</p></div>

Q: How much pruning do ornamental trees need?

• <div><p>You should prune ornamental trees once every other year after the fruit has matured and begun to drop. You should also prune out dead branches whenever you see them. Pruning too often can stimulate more growth, especially in faster growing varieties like Bradford pears.</p></div>

They climb the trees so you don't need to accommodate a high-lift truck or other destructive machines on your property. They do an excellent job of clean-up and are very polite."

Tree Service questions, answered by experts

You’ll want to have your palm trees trimmed during the spring, ideally in May, before hurricane season sets in, which generally takes place during the late summer. Palm trees grow fastest over the summer months. You’ll also want to trim your palm trees when you notice:

Brown fronds
Dry leaves
Flower pods
Fruit
Fronds overgrown in power lines
Frond encroaching upon your neighbor’s home or yard
Visible damage from a storm

If you don’t cut down a dead, dying, or diseased tree, it can become a nesting place for pests like mosquitos, bees, beetles, wasps, fly larvae, and more. Some pests will live in the tree, while others will feed off the decaying wood. Unhealthy trees are also more likely to fall over, potentially injuring people and causing damage to your property.
