Default Prunning, trimming tips for Some Palm Trees

Some palm trees look better with there skirts of dead leaves on them. Such as the California Fan palm and looks even better when they are trimmed up after the skirt have gathered and filled the trunk because the sun hasn't dried the trunk. Also some palm trees should naturally shed there leaves because it gives the look the some buyers want. So depending on the palm tree is what trimming and pruning should be done to it. Most of the time when a leaf is browning or having the appearance of dying, you should cut them off in order for the palm tree to thrive and not waist its energy on a dead leaf.
When trimming a 20+ foot palm you should contact your local landscaping company.
