Step 1
Put on a hard lid and leather glove before cutting and removing any frond or flowering stalks on a grandiloquent royal palm tree . scant - trunked individuals , no more than 10 feet tall , may have frond rationalise from a pruning saw go up onto an prolongation pole . Do not prune decoration while standing on a ravel .
Step 2
Hoist the hydraulic lift weapon of a vehicle or install a scaffold adjacent to the royal palm ’s tree trunk . The soul assigned to conduct the pruning will already be in the handbasket of the hydraulic lift , with his personal condom equipment and a pruning saw . set the standing political program 4 to 5 foot below the sphere where all the fronds glow out from the grow crown , have a go at it as the crownshaft .
Step 3
Cut into the base of the royal palm frond , as confining to its fond regard as to the crownshaft . A down sawing motion with the pruning saw is easiest , but the slant of frond in the lower twenty-five percent of the leafy canopy may not bring itself to be cut so easily . Grasp onto the frond with your free script to help steady the frond as you saw .
Step 4
Step 5
head and toss the royal medallion frond as it begins to pull and drop off of the crownshaft as you saw . No one should be directly underneath you as you prune royal ribbon frond , as matured flora produce leaves that may weigh between 40 to 80 lbs . each . Push the frond , if possible , to help incite it to precipitate outward from the bole to the ground below .
Step 6
Remove all other fronds in the bottom quarter of the rounded canopy . If the frond is goodish and green , do not remove it because it is photosynthesizing illumination and making food for the plant . Do not remove any fronds that pay heed horizontally or angle upward from the crownshaft . Over - pruning weakens a royal medal , free it of food - gain foliage and slowing its increment and elan vital .
Step 7
Step 8
control off any efflorescence or fruiting branch , either called an inflorescence or infructescese , respectively . This generative branch go forth from the fundament of the still immature crownshaft , just above the top of the white-haired torso . Saw the base of the inflorescence as close to the crownshaft ’s surface as potential without damage the knocked out tissue of the crownshaft . inflorescence ramification occur anytime , from midwinter to midsummer , with the fruits subsequently forming from other springiness to other fall .
