An enormous palm tree in a California neighborhood after trimming by Majestic Tree Service.

Palm tree trimming is important for your tree’s appearance, but also has practical safety benefits. Certain palm trees are considered “self-cleaning” and will naturally shed their fronds once they die, but others need a bit of extra help. Keeping your trees properly trimmed can protect your property and help mitigate fire hazards, but it can be difficult to know where to start. That’s where Majestic Tree Service comes in.

The Majestic Tree Service team is proud to help home and business owners in and around San Jose and San Ramon keep their trees looking great through careful pruning.

When to Prune Your Palm Tree

There are a few signs that your palm tree needs pruning soon. Here are a few reasons to consider trimming your tree:

To maintain its appearance: Dead or dying fronds aren’t the best to look at. Even though leaving these fronds in place won’t harm the tree, you may choose to remove them anyway.
To protect its surroundings: Palm fronds can be surprisingly heavy and can cause damage to nearby structures and other trees if they are allowed to fall on their own.
To prevent excess growth: If your tree produces seedlings or fruit, removing them can prevent more trees from growing nearby.

Additionally, if your palm tree’s fronds could present a fire hazard, it’s important to take care of them as quickly as possible, regardless of season. Dead fronds are especially flammable and should be dealt with quickly.

Why You Need Professional Palm Tree Pruning

DIY palm tree pruning may be tempting, but it’s always best to go with a professional. Over-pruning can make your palm tree look worse than before – not to mention harm its health and open it up to pest infestation. To get the most possible benefit from pruning, you need the certified arborists at Majestic Tree Service.
