Southwest Florida is home to dozens of palm species—from royal palms and coconut palms to sabal palms and washingtonia palms. Each species has specific trimming needs, and improper techniques can seriously harm or even kill your palms. Lehigh Acres Tree Service specializes in the palm varieties common to Lee County, applying species-appropriate methods every time.
One of the most common mistakes in palm care is over-trimming. Removing live green fronds weakens the palm, stresses the bud, and can cause permanent structural deformity. We remove only dead, dying, and potentially hazardous fronds—never green fronds that the tree still needs for photosynthesis and nutrient cycling.
