Default Re: cocos palms trunks

People get into trouble thinking palms are trees when they are really more closely related to grass.

Very few palm species will ever come back when the growing tips are cut out.

Coconut palms never recover from being topped.

Get them out before they fall down.

Depending on how long ago they were topped, they may have already become bucket truck or crane removals.

Not only does the trunk rot and become mush in very short order, but their pathetic root system rots away even faster which results in stem failure.
