PALM TREE REMOVAL COSTS

Palm tree removal costs are dependent on many different factors but the most important indicator of the price you will pay is the height of the tree! As when it comes to trimming a tree, the height of the tree has a large impact on the amount you will pay:

  • The average palm tree removal service for up to a 30 feet tall tree is $215. Palm tree removal service for up to a 30 feet tall tree ranged from $108 to $322 in 2018-2019.

These prices usually include the cutting of the palm tree down into a short stump. In some cases, they may also include the cutting up of the trunk into smaller sections, though you may have to pay extra for that.

Consider that some additional items can add to the total cost of your palm tree removal including the following.

HAUL AWAY TRUNK – You could pay up to $250 more to have the trunk sections hauled away as well.

MILEAGE – There is usually a charge for travel and mileage when palm tree removal services have to come from outside of the immediate area.

ROPE DOWN THE PALM TREE – It will add significantly to the bill If the palm tree grows dangerously close to a building or other obstacle, it will need to be roped down in sections.

STUMP REMOVAL – You can expect to pay an additional $74 to $215 If you’d like the stump to be ground away.

Trying to remove or even cutting down a palm tree is dangerous for yourself and others and that is why despite the seemingly high costs, it really is worth it to have this job done by a professional arborist or contractor. Even trimming a palm tree can be dangerous and runs the rick of the tree suffering and maybe dying due to incorrect trimming techniques.

COST TO REMOVE PALM TREES BY SIZE

Below are the average costs you can expect to pay for palm tree removal by various sizes. Please note the last figure would apply if there are special circumstances that make the removal less simple, such as a lack of space.

If you are wondering why your palm tree is dying and want to know what you can do to bring it back to life this post should help. Here we will show you how to properly care for palm trees so that they always stay in good health and look their best. Read below reasons why your palm tree is dying and steps to bring it back to life.

WHY IS MY PALM TREE DYING?

  • Not Enough Water
  • Low-Quality Fertilizer
  • Fertilizer Too Close To Roots
  • Low-Quality Soil
  • Cutting Fronds Before They Are Dead
  • Pruning During Hurricane Season
  • Planting Palm Trees At The Wrong Depth
  • Wrong Nutrients
  • Too Much Or Not Enough Sunlight

BRING A DEAD PALM TREE BACK TO LIFE

  • Add The Right Amount Of Water
  • Use High Quality Fertilizer
  • Keep Fertilizer 2 Ft. From Roots
  • Use High Quality Soil
  • Only Cut Fronds After They Are Dead
  • Don’t Prune in Monsoon Season
  • Plant Palm Trees At The Right Depth
  • Make Sure It Has The Right Nutrients
  • Increase Or Restrict Sunlight

If you think your palm tree is dead, there are some things you can do to bring it back to life. Proper watering, pruning and fertilizing your dying palm tree will is the best way to bring it back to life. Follow the steps below to properly care for your dying palm tree.

1. ADD THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF WATER

Watering your palm tree too much will cause the fronds of your to start turning brown or yellow and fall off before dying. Furthermore, not watering your palm tree enough will dry the leaves out and starting turning brown. Adding 30% sand to your soil will provide great drainage to prevent overwatering and using a soil meter will help you avoid not watering enough.

TIP – Palm trees should be watered less in the winter and more in the summer (Summer is when your palm tree will grow the most)

2. USE HIGH-QUALITY FERTILIZER

If your palm tree is not receiving enough nutrients it will be more susceptible to diseases. Giving the palm tree the nutrients it needs will ensure healthy development and growth of the palm tree. Avoid cheap fertilizer products and they will not work.

Tip – Get a high-quality slow-release fertilizer to avoid the nutrients being washed away by rain or watering.

3. KEEP FERTILIZER 2 FT AWAY FROM ROOTS

If you add fertilizer too close to the roots you could actually burn them. You should always keep fertilizer at least 2 ft away from roots to avoid the tree becoming susceptible to insects, fungi and diseases. Copper fungicide offers great protection from bacteria and fungi.

4. USE HIGH-QUALITY SOIL

This step is for new palm tree owners only. Using the correct soil with a new palm tree should provide the right moisture and soil drainage the tree needs to grow happy and healthy. Do not mix fertilizer with soil as it can burn roots as we mentioned above.

5. ONLY CUT FRONDS AFTER THEY ARE COMPLETELY DEAD

Do not cut palm tree leaves right away after noticing tips turning brown. Cutting the leaves too soon will result in nutrient loss. Pruning too soon will prevent new growth. Only cut brown palm tree leaves once they are completely dead or brown colored.

6. DON’T PRUNE DURING HURRICANE SEASON

Some Arborists will say you should prune palm trees before a hurricane or monsoon season to get rid of extra weight. This is false and you could be putting your palm tree under more stress by removing its fronds. The fronds actually provide protection from the wind.

Tip – Try tying the fronds together vs cutting them off.

7. PLANT PALMS TREES AT THE RIGHT LEVEL

This step is for planting a new palm tree or replacing an existing palm tree. When planting a new palm tree it is wise to plant the palm tree only deep enough to cover the root ball of the tree (the circular ball of roots at the bottom of the tree). However, Mexican Fan Palm trees can be buried 4-5 ft deeper than the root ball. This offers a great advantage to landscapers who want to match tree heights.

8. MAKE SURE IT HAS THE RIGHT NUTRIENTS

Make sure your palm trees have enough potassium, calcium, magnesium, and iron. Without these nutrients, a palm tree can become deficient and experience a whole list of problems. Leaves will gain spots in the event of a potassium deficiency. Leaves will appear deformed and stunted in the event of a calcium deficiency. In the event of a magnesium deficiency, leaves will have yellow bands running along the border of the fronds. And in the case of an iron deficiency leaves will have broken ends, green spotting, and thin green veins.

9. INCREASE OR RESTRICT SUNLIGHT

New palm trees can become sunburned if left in direct sunlight. On the other hand, when not enough sunlight is present, the leaves will start turning brown. However, if your palm tree has been established in the shade for a long time, it has most likely acclimated to that amount of light.

Care of A Sago Palm Tree

CARE OF A SAGO PALM TREE

GET A FREE ESTIMATE TODAY!

Sago Palm Trees are very well suited to the climate and environment of Arizona. Read on to learn more about how you can make the most of your sago palm tree.

CARE OF A SAGO PALM TREE

Well kept ash trees provide an outstanding addition to your Arizona lSago Palms offer a primitive yet beach like addition to your landscaping. With large fronds certainly comparable in size to palms, sago palms are actually cycads and closely related to conifers. Sago palms grow in zones 8,9 and 10 of the USDA plant hardiness zones. When well kept, the mature sago palm can reach up to ten feet in height.

WHERE TO PLANT YOUR SAGO PALM

Capable of growing in fully sunlit areas, sago palms grow best in areas with a moderate amount of shade. Sunburnt foliage can occur should the plant receive too much sunlight. However, if the plant has partial shade, the leaves grow larger. Sago plants also require soil that drains well. Waterlogged conditions can cause problems with rot. However the soil must maintain enough moisture. A partly sandy site with compost is ideal for a sago palm.

WATERING YOUR SAGO PALM

Watering is only needed when the soil starts to become dry. Younger sago palms appreciate irrigation on a regular basis. Ideally, watering every five to seven days when there is little or no rainfall and using enough water so the top 12 inches or so of soil is moist is more than adequate. Well established plants are usually drought resistant and require watering only on rare occasions.

FERTILIZING YOUR SAGO PALM

An annual does of a slow release balanced fertilizer in spring time should be sufficient for nutrition. Use one tablespoon per square foot of a 10-10-10 recipe for fertilizer around the base of the sago palm, at least eight to nine inches from the palm and water it in. if you see yellow foliage it may be indicative of a potassium shortage or magnesium shortage in the soil. Older foliage may stay yellow but by using some chelated iron spray on the foliage, new foliage should be a healthy green in color.

PRUNING YOUR SAGO PALM

Pruning is really for decoration with the sago palm. The cone can be removed from the sago palm in a careful manner as long as the growing point beneath it does not become damaged. If left in place, the cone will fall apart and fall off on its own as new foliage develops. If older foliage becomes tatty, cut them close to the trunk once the new leaves have fully unfolded.

ISSUES WITH SAGO PALMS

Sago palms are very resilient to diseases and pests. Waterlogged soil resulting in root rot is a common issue but with proper watering and well draining soil it should not be a problem. Insects rarely trouble a sago palm outdoors. Sago palms can tolerate temperatures as low as 13 degrees Fahrenheit, but if it falls below 25 Fahrenheit, it could cause some of the foliage to die.

SICK SAGO PALM TREATMENT

Once you know why the sago palm is yellowing, you will need to have a plan to treat sick Sago palms effectually. When nutritional deficiencies are present, feed sago palms houseplant fertilizer on a monthly basis. Regular balanced fertilizer is essential for sago palms. If your sago palm is indoors and scale infestations become an issue, you can try hand picking them off or placing them outdoors and allow their natural predators to help eliminate them.

Palm Tree Maintenance

PALM TREE MAINTENANCE

GET A FREE ESTIMATE TODAY!

With over 2,000 different species of palm trees it is important to realize how to take care of them. It is vital to take care of the roots of palm trees as they do not grow deep into the ground. The majority of palms have single trunks. This point at the top of the trunk as well as the tissues surrounding it are known as the terminal bud. if this is damaged, the palm tree may die. As the roots do not thicken, they are less likely to damage utilities or sidewalks.

SOIL

The compacted soil found in many urban areas will not have the ingredients needed for a palm tree to live well. Palm trees obtain a bulk of their nutrients from the top soil and the top of the ground – this means proper fertilization is required.

WATERING REQUIREMENTS

New palms will need water twice per week for the first six months. Enough water needs to be added to penetrate eighteen inches of soil. If the soil is of a sandy type, extra water will need to be added to ensure moisture is maintained. For older plants, watering demands will depend on the climate. Often in summer, they will need watering at least twice per month, and once every six weeks or so during the colder seasons.

PRUNING

Palm trees usually shed their fronds naturally. Only yellowing/browning/old fronds should be removed. Never trim too close to the trunk of your Palm. The bark is easily damaged and the resulting wounds are entry points for insects and disease. As a frond emerges, the oldest frond dies. The age that a frond may attain will be determined by many factors.

POTENTIAL PESTS

THRIPS – North America’s thrips make up an extremely large family of insects. Of the plant feeders alone, there are 264 species. And some of these species have a taste for palm trees, feeding on flowers and leaves by puncturing the surfaces to suck out sap. Thrips are not lethal to palms but the feeding of the adults can discolor and wilt leaves. In addition, in intensive infestations their unsightly black droppings can become noticeable on leaf surfaces.

ROYAL PALM BUG – Royal Palm Bug feeds on only one plant, the royal palm, and the female lays one egg a day during the spring. The bugs rarely kill the host tree but the damage they do can be unsightly and they are difficult to control given the height of mature royal palms. These insects are the only North American members of the Thaumastocoridae family.

PALMETTO WEEVIL – The Palmetto Weevil can be found throughout Florida, as far west as southern Texas and as far north as South Carolina. It is North America’s largest weevil. This pest has a taste primarily for the Cabbage Palm (sabal palmetto) although it will infest Saw Palmettos (serrenoa repens) and, occasionally, Canary Island Date Palms (phoenix canariensis), Washington Palms (washingtonia), Royal Palms (roystonea), and some coconut palms.

PALM BUDWORM – The budworm is beetle whose larvae feed on the flowers of a range of fan palms. The caterpillars are about an inch long and a pink-green in color.

GIANT PALM BORER – The borer is a large and quite ugly beetle whose larvae have a taste for the wood of the Washingtonia and Phoenix varieties. Borer grubs can live inside a palm trunk for up to nine years before exiting as beetles through quarter-sized holes.

CABBAGE PALM CATERPILLAR – Cabbage palm caterpillars, found throughout Florida, target the cabbage palmetto almost exclusively. They rarely kill palm trees but the insects do destroy the trees’ blossoms. They are a nuisance to humans as well because they often enter homes looking for suitable places to pupate. Control by insecticides is possible under certain circumstance if carefully managed.

DISEASES

LETHAL YELLOWING – Lethal yellowing is a disease first noticed in the Caribbean region of North America about 100 years ago. However, it was not until the 1950s and a devastating outbreak in Jamaica and the Florida Keys that the economic consequences of lethal yellowing were recognized and intensive research begun.

GANODERMA BUTT ROT – Ganoderma butt rot is a relatively new and lethal disease of Florida palm trees. It is caused by a fungus, Ganoderma zonatum, which invades the base or butt of palm trees up to a height of three to four feet above the ground. The disease was first discovered in Florida in 1994 and in only a few years it has spread to infect palms throughout the state. At this time, it cannot be said with certainty that there are any palm trees resistant to ganoderma butt rot.

FUSARIUM WILT – Fusarium wilt is another palm tree fungus. signs of wilt are fronds wilting, losing their green luster and, finally, dying. Once a tree is infected, there is no cure and the diseased tree may have to be removed.

BUD ROT – Bud rot is caused by a fungus which causes the heart fronds of a palm tree to wilt and die. Tree death can occur soon afterward. California and Mexican palms are the most vulnerable.

Do Palm Tree Trunks Grow Back If You Cut Their Trunks?

DO PALM TREE TRUNKS GROW BACK IF YOU CUT THEIR TRUNKS?

GET A FREE ESTIMATE TODAY!

Palm trees do not require a lot of maintenance throughout a lifespan. However, skinning the trees just once per year is crucial to the overall health of the plant. Read on to learn why you should skin your palm tree.

SINGLE-TRUNK PALMS

When it comes to severing off the growing tip or better know as the ‘crownshaft’ of any single-trunk palm species, this will effectively terminate the tree altogether. The trunk will not be able to sprout a new growing tip in place of the old missing crownshaft. And without the extra foliage to synthesize the incoming light, the palm soon grows weak and starts to rot. If you do end up having to cut off the top of any single-trunk palms, the next move would be to simply plant a new tree.

Some examples of single-trunk palms include the Mexican fan Palm, Royal palm, Christmas palm, and the Cabbage palm. These are all great options to choose from when deciding which single-trunk palm to grow.

CLUSTERING PALMS

Clustering palms are incredibly unique and grow multiple trunk stems, which means you can shave away some trunks without ending the plants’ life. If the individual palm trunk is removed solely, it will not be able to heal itself. Even if you cut off the trunks near the root level, suckering explodes from this level and will eventually sprout and develop into new healthy palm tree trunks. The suckering process and rejuvenation will only happen in the case of a healthy clustering palm. On the other hand, diseased or distressed palms may not create new suckers and may eventually end up dying.

PALM TREE TRUNK WOUNDS

Naturally, Palm trees lack cambium – which is a layer of tissue behind the tree bark that creates the growth rings in the tree. Any wound inflicted to the trunk of a palm tree cannot repair itself, meaning these wounds will remain with the palm for the rest of its life. The wounds can and most likely will become dry and brittle unless weather conditions are full of rain or high humidity. Insects and fungal infections can penetrate the palm and cause massive damage to the plant’s articular system, as well.

PRUNING

When it comes to the pruning aspect of the palm tree, there are crucial factors that come into play during this process. First, it is important to never sever the downshaft on a palm. Another tip is to remove just the right amount of fronds. Also, never introduce any sort of diseases to the plants. Palm pruning can certainly be hard to manage and is better left to the professionals. If you do decide to proceed with pruning the palm yourself, go ahead and remove only the broken fronds that are entirely dead with no color left to them.

Why Should I Skin My Palm Tree?

WHY SHOULD I SKIN MY PALM TREE?

GET A FREE ESTIMATE TODAY!

Palm trees do not require a lot of maintenance throughout a lifespan. However, skinning the trees just once per year is crucial to the overall health of the plant. Read on to learn why you should skin your palm tree.

WHY SHOULD YOU SKIN YOUR PALM TREES

The main reason homeowners skin their palm trees is simply the aesthetic of their home, paired with all the wonderful health benefits for the palm tree. Another major reason this is done is because rodents and all species of bugs use the palm’s dead fronds as a place of rest. Consider skinning your palm trees for this reason, as it will cut down on amounts of pests in your yard. The dead fronds still on the tree actually take up the nutrients that would’ve otherwise gone into the healthy fronds, making this process necessary. Palm fronds are sometimes a headache to deal with, since they will more than likely fall from the tree, eventually. Even if you just enjoy the way a skinned palm tree looks, getting this work done serves many purposes.

DANGERS TO SKINNING YOUR PALM TREE

When skinning a palm tree, of course, it does come with risk to the tree and tree trimmer involved in the job. The risk is just another reason why hiring a professional tree trimmer is the best possible way to approach this task. For the trimmers themselves, they face all sorts of risks, as any tree trimming service would. You’re in need of a ladder or bucket trucks in order to reach the highest part of the palm tree where the fronds hide. Falling from these heights is the biggest risk of the job, which is the main reason why people hire professionals to complete the task at hand. Professional trimmers sometimes even tend to just climb the tree itself.

As mentioned previously, trimming jobs pose countless risks for the trimmer and the tree itself. When the palm tree is hurt or cut, the dead fronds act as an open wound on the tree. Just like any other organism, open wounds become infected. The reason for this could be due to unsanitary trimming equipment being used. It is important to sanitize your trimming equipment before the skinning process starts. Also, be very wary that cutting too deep into the tree trunk can and will leave scars to the palm tree, which will hurt the tree when it comes to the transfer of nutrients.

Skinning a palm tree should be limited to only once a year.
