I actually use a cordless sawzall with a torch blade and make very shallow cuts along the bottom of the husk. The cuts are small enough to not leave a scar.

Thanks! I have 21 queen palms on my property so I’m always looking for the most efficient ways to work on them. I’ve also attached a cordless sawzall with a 10’ super sharp wood blade to a retractable pole with a wire to pull the trigger for trimming fronds. 😀👍

Thanks for the proper techniques and terminology Bino. I recently heard that you should use rubbing alcohol to sanitize any blades before starting the cutting on palms to prevent the spread of disease from a previous location site.

Very cool Bino 😎 one thing we’ve done for the sake of saving on time since we’ll take on quite a few per job(mostly sable palmettos) is take a chainsaw up the neck instead of your razor method. Is there any reason we should reconsider this technique? It leave the palms pretty nice but I’m not sure whether there’s a layer we could be damaging as a consequence. Thanks for your knowledge! God bless
@BinoH2 жыл бұрын
The most important thing is not to nick the trunk because you create an open wound that does not compartmentalize. If you are just trimming it's not as much of a worry it's more when your removing the bases. Some palm will get fungus or disease and it's important to disinfect your tools. If your working on a palm species that can be infected it's best not to use a chainsaw.

Nice work. Do you by any chance know how to treat a palm for the palm weevil. The phoenix canariensis here in Southern California are being totally wiped out in the past few years and it is awful. No one is doing anything about it and I would love to be able to save some if I can. Thank you.

@@BinoH Thanks Bino. I have done some research and it sounds like the best is to spray the crown and drench the base with imidacloprid. This is so depressing watching this. I must have seen at least 15 or more dead canaries. just driving around the neighborhood today. The weevil also hits the Bismarck and chilean wine palm but not anything as much. My grandfather has a huge Chilean wine palm and a bunch of rare stuff so now I got to be on alert but the problem is when you see the damage it usually is too late. I heard the weevil is in Orange County but am not sure. I really miss seeing the beautiful canaries all over San Diego. If you do see one you know it is a matter of months and it's over. The weevil knows exactly where to go and is ruthless.

@@araucariasightings3247 what are the signs of the weevil?
@araucariasightings3247 Жыл бұрын
@@gregjohnson2073 The emerging fronds will be starting to shift to the side or will open up more in the middle before they collapse. A lot of the time you will notice that one side of the emerging fronds is starting to fall to the side leaving a large opening in between the fronds before it collapses. It's real easy to tell and they all are getting it in San Diego. If you live where the weevil is it is best to get it treated before you see damage. Once you see the damage it most likely is too late. I have talked to a lot of people to warn them and usually they wait to see the damage and by then it is already too late and the tree doesn't recover. If you have any other questions don't hesitate to ask. I have been watching this for a few years now and am very familiar with it.
