Pruning a double Queen Palm

Honestly, I haven't done much with this tree since it started growing and it's made this far without me so I don't want to do anything too much to disturb it. A problem since it's gotten bigger is that the smaller palm's fronds shoot up into the bigger palm, any tips on how to manage this? Also, how much of the dying fronds can you trim off? Is it okay once they start to droop? I just want it look better without the sagging & brown fronds.

Mine grow together too. When they start turning yellow feel free to get your pole saw up there and take them off. Palms have a tough time storing carbohydrates and put them in their leafs, so doing things like hurricane cuts is not really a good idea.

Hope that helps!
