That is one good looking palm trim, Pat.

You know, about 2 years ago I was removing a liquidambar in a street, the same day some Arbo was doing a really finesse Pheonix Palm trim. Once we finished the day, drove past and looked at the work and it looked like a piece of art work. Looked absolutely great.

Anyway, we ended up getting quite alot of jobs in the street from people approaching us, when we went back for the next job, the Pheonix palm had been REMOVED!

It was really a crying shame, but the customer probly figured getting one of these done every year for the next 20 years is a hell of alot more then just getting it removed...
