Home My WebLink AboutRE Concerns About Palm Tree Trimming (4)Hello Mr Bidwell, Thank you for contacting me about the trees. I will pass this information to the City Arborist, and see if there is any input from him. We value the trees and pride ourselves on being a Tree City.

I’ve attached the article for your information. In addition, a UF Extension Service video on the topic can be viewed at the web-link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tt76hXRHBoA <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tt76hXRHBoA> I’ve also attached a photo of trees that were trimmed in Banana River Park on Monday. I believe that we could save a lot of money and save our palm trees if we follow the University of Florida’s guidance.
