Oh, no... 😱

Why do some 'landscapers' think they are giving you better value by taking off way more during a trim than is necessary?

    In Ventura , by my shop , there were a couple of Brahea Edulis that I love to see every time I pass. Someone just trimmed the poor things just like that. The other day , when I passed by one crown was bent over and looked like it was hanging by a thread. I was upset and they weren’t even my palms! I believe the saw cut into the crown😕. They are very old palms and it was sad to see. The other one looks pathetic. Harry

    At that point they might as well just have them cut down entirely. Wild how anybody could do this to a palm and think this looks good in any way. If someone ever did this to one of my palms i would probably end up in jail 😂
