Palms are a feature on any property when properly maintained and kept clean. Their unique shape makes them stand out in landscapes and are often associated with coastal living, and can provide relaxing vacation vibes.
Properly maintained palms boost curb appeal and signal a developed, mature landscape, which in turn could boost property value.
To keep palms looking fresh and healthy, regular palm cleaning is required.
Palm tree cleaning is the process of removing the dead or dying fronds, seed pods and flower stalks, leaving a healthy green canopy.
What happens when Palms aren’t cleaned?
Seed pods weaken the Palm as they absorb energy, and the fruit and seeds attract undesirable animals such as birds, bats and rodents. Fallen seeds can clog gutters and pool filters or be eaten by our pets. Dead or decaying debris on palms can introduce disease or fungi and become a fire hazard during bushfire season.
Dead palm fronds left on the tree can fall unexpectedly - potentially harming people, animals or structures underneath.
Palms that are kept clean:
- Drop less debris
- Look more visually appealing
- Promote healthy new growth
In some cases, the homeowners plant palms close to houses and structures because they offer shade and greenery when small to moderate in height. Over time, like all trees, the palms grow taller, becoming a worry and potential hazard. That's when a professional needs to be called in, so the palm can be assessed and considered for removal.
