Re: Advice on palm tree removal It could be climbed, I won't be so worried about the exposed root mass so long as the remaining soil structure is sound, as you moved up the palm you would soon get a feel for its ground stability......however why would you even consider climbing these PIA fan palms, the real problem arises when you reach the base of the skirt of dead fronds...very unpleasant unstable and dangerous to the climber below.
Fell it, and if you calculate it to be too large to fit with the cut at the base climb up 2m and fell it from that height.
