Palms add a touch of the tropics to any garden, and Palms in Auckland thrive in the local climate. For this reason, Palms often grow too big for the space and start to cause problems.
What are the signs that your palm might be a problem?
Palms are often planted close to the house or in small spaces, and as they grow, they may create issues, including:
Palm trunks pushing against retaining walls or paths creating an uneven surface or destabilising footings.
Palms planted in small gardens pushing beyond the garden wall resulting in the swelling of fixtures .
Palms blocking light into windows and rooms, creating damp curtains or blinds, and wet windowsills.
Heavy seed pods and palm fronds may drop on cars and gardens, causing damage on impact or a safety risk with toxic spikes attached to the fronds.
Providing shelter for pests and vermin eg., rats and pigeons in Phoenix Palms.

Palms don’t grow in the same way trees do, and the fronds won’t grow back if you just remove half of them, as a branch might have fresh growth after it’s lost half of its original size.
You can, however, tidy them up by removing all the dead or dying fronds, and this can make a massive impact on how your tree looks. Removing old seed pods can also improve the way your Palm looks.
Palm tree trimming is best done by an Arborist, as the fronds can have toxic thorns. Removing the fronds at the base of the attachment point is crucial, as cutting into the trunk could compromise the plant’s health.
Removing dead palm fronds will also reduce the protection these dead fronds can provide for vermin to shelter and breed in.
