Best Way to Trim Canary Island Date Palms

[@araucariasightings3247]

A really cool video would be a do it yourself palm weevil treatment video. I have heard of people using a strong imidacloprid systemic such as dominion 2L plus spraying the crown. The city of San Diego surprisingly has been treating a very old strip of canary palms on Catalina Blvd that are around 100 years old using the injection method which has been working for the past few years but I am not a fan of drilling into the trunks. Atlas tree service uses a gas powered device to squirt the systemic into the dirt around the base of the trunk which really seems to work. I tell people to use Atlas tree service when there palms are being affected. Obviously it is best to do it long before you see any damage to the crown. This iconic Jubaea Chilensis in my neighborhood that is the largest nicest one I have ever seen was just killed by it.

@@ScaryHairyGary I knocked on the door and they had no idea and they said they were going to immediately get Atlas to come out and treat it but I think it is too late. All the palm gurus talk about this palm. My grandfather was friends with Bill Evans Sr. of the Catamaran hotel and he said Bill used to want to buy the house just for the palm. The homeowners also said they have got many knocks over the years of people wanting to buy the palm. There is a video of someone driving down Chatsworth St. in 1970 and it was big back then. It really was the nicest largest one I have ever seen.
