😄 hi all I was wondering if it would be fine to cut back all the brown leaves on my palm tree would it do any good to let the green push out? Thank you for any guidanceIMG_2268.jpeg

You are fine cutting the fully brown fronds and you can trim the dead tips off the other fronds with pruning scissors. It wouldn’t hurt to remove 18” of grass around palm, put down palm fertilizer and put a layer of pine bark mulch. Make sure to leave any green innermost fronds

    Allen is correct. Feel free to remove brown fronds. If they have much green left at all, I would leave them. I am not as big of a stickler about this as many growers...but many growers probably have better looking palms than me. 😁

    Looks good. Where in GA are you?

    I have a four T.fortunei that sprouted together, a little smaller than yours. Oddly, they all spear pulled. They recovered on their own now. 90% of recovery was visible after Memorial Day.
