The general recommendation for Florida palms is once per year in late spring (April–June), before hurricane season begins. Some homeowners trim twice a year — once in spring and once in fall after storm season ends. Avoid trimming in late summer when palms are most active.
Signs your palms need trimming:
Hurricane cutting means removing too many fronds, leaving only a small tuft at the top. This is harmful to palms — it stresses the tree, slows growth, and actually makes the palm more vulnerable in storms, not less. A properly trimmed palm should still have a full, rounded canopy of green fronds.
Dylan's crew trims correctly: removing dead and dying fronds only, cleaning seed stalks when present, and leaving healthy green fronds intact.
