Mediterranean Palm Tree Pruning

How to provide a unique look to your Mediterranean fan palm

[@RyanBrown01]

Great video! It takes so long to trim the Mediterranean fan palms, and I’ve never been able to get mine to look as good as that. Great info!

[@gilbertrivera8369]

Thanks for the compliment. Secret is once you get them trimmed up nicely, keep them maintained by pruning them routinely. I probably prune mine every couple months.

I love the retaining walls

Mediterranean Palm Tree Pruning

[@erichutchinson1038]

That looks more like a windmill palm (trachycarpus) that has a single furry trunk. Nice trimming effect though:-)

[@seansmith445]

They look better like that than bushy

Getting closer would have been nice to see

I just bought some potted Mediterranean fall palms that have a bunch of suckers at the bottom. Is a pruning saw the right tool to use to cut them all off if I want my palms to grow with only a single trunk?

[@gilbertrivera8369]

Depends on how thick they are. If they are relatively thin I would use a pair of loppers to cut them off. But if your palm is large and the suckers are thick in diameter, then I would use a pruning saw like the one I used in the video. The suckers can be a pain if your goal is a single trunk. I have quite a few in my yard and despite me removing them frequently, they keep coming back. Just something to keep in mind. Not a big deal.

My landscaper is planting Mediterranean palms along the sidewalk entryway. How do you keep it as a single trunk? I don't want any babies growing, because they grow lots of suckers blocking out onto the walkway

[@gilbertrivera8369]

My experience has been that some Mediterranean Palm grow more suckers than others. For those that grow a lot, you just have to keep on cutting them off with a pair of loppers. Despite this, they grow back. Just part of maintenance with Mediterranean fan palms.

Aren't those usually multi-trunk..?

[@gilbertrivera8369]

Yes.

[@Zest4life890]

Where can I buy that pruning knife? I tried HD and Lowes

[@gilbertrivera8369]

I thought both stores carried the pruning saw. If not, you can order the pruning saw online. The brand is corona.

@@gilbertrivera8369 because I live in Yuma AZ, I told by the Nursery staff these Mediterranean fan palms will do good in the desert weather

[@josephjordan5845]

That is a windmill

[@seansmith445]

Windmill palms don't have spikes on their fronds.

Estragou a arvore , tirou a fibra que faz parte da beleza do tronco .
