  • I have a pair of Washingtonia Robustus in my yard and I didn't know how to prune them. When I learned how, I decided to make a video and have some fun with time lapse. I hope you enjoy it.

    Great video, 1)easy to watch and understand, 2) no foul language. 3)to the point, 4)there is not some guy acting like a fool and wanting attention to over inflate his ego. Well done. GQ

    You're a beast doing that barehanded !!!!! Those thorn/teeth have gone through my gloves a few times. It's like stepping on a lego.

      Those two trees are now more than 60' tall. Can you believe I brought the two of them, in a single ice cream bucket, to our new house 16 years ago?

    A hand held razor blade. Like a box cutter type works best. But be carefull. Super Sharp.

    Here in So. Az, scorpions and other beasties love to make a home in the palm fronds and all that netting stuff. I am definitely going to give my palm a shave. I do wish you had one slowed-down moment to show the cut up close. Thanks.

      Thanks Birder Girl! I made this several years ago. I doubt I have any of the original footage at regular speed. I doubt it but I'll look!

      Yes but what about protection from blistering Arizona sun? The protective layer is gone

    The skin probably protects the tree from insects, weather, and other damage, and helps hold moisture.

    Hello ... I have 2 small Mexican fan palms that are about 2 months planted .. here in Texas ... it’s still about 55 degrees over here ... they have a lot of dead pieces around the body like yours ... Do I need to prune them , or let It fall off .. I’m getting conflicting information

    Is it true that keeping the leaf basses on help with cold hardiness?

    Great job by the way what type of small sharpener did you use ?

    • @rickcalvert2161
      @rickcalvert2161  Před 5 lety

      It was an extra blade my gardener friend gave to me. I just always thought it was a carpet or sod blade. I've seen similar at hardware stores.

      It's a carpet knife.

    Why do you need to prune? The original skin is more beautiful!

      You might feel differently if you brushed up against some of those sharks-teeth sharp barbs one time.

      They look alot better after. I've got 5 I need to do. All roughly 30 to 40 feet high. Once they start falling away from the palm(old age) they look horrible. I can imagine it helps with keeping pests out of the fronds.
