Queen palms and kings every 9 to 12 months, they drop fronds fast and the seed pods are constant. Mexican fan palms every 18 to 24 months for the skin-and-shape. Date palms every 6 to 12 months during fruiting season. Neglected palms become weight hazards and frond-drop nuisances.
What's a hurricane cut and why is it bad?
A hurricane cut strips the palm of all but a few top fronds. It looks tidy, but it stresses the palm, slows growth, and makes the tree lean toward the sun. Certified tree crews stop at 9-and-3 or 10-and-2 clock positions — only fully dead or dying fronds come off, plus seed pods. Aggressive cuts are cheap and destructive.
