Man...I was about to pay somebody to clean my pygmy up until I came across this video. Went out and grabbed one of those little hand saws today and had my triple and single pygmies cleaned up in no time! Never realized it could be that easy. Thanks for the great video!
I did landscaping in CT before moving down to central Florida thanks to this video I now know how to prune Robellini’s. I just finished a job today and the clients loved it. They were badly neglected with a lot of old seed pods and not much of the trunk exposed. Now they look great!
Great video!! I have many of these in my new place in need of this work. As you were cutting stuff off I thought I'll throw down a tarp and save a little time.. Thanks for sharing.. peAce
Thanks Jacob for sharing with us how to trim and clean the trunk of a Pygmy Date Palm. I always wondered how the resorts make those palm trees look so good. I have four in my house that I will be cleaning the trunks on.
I have 4 of these palms. They are beautiful, but I HATE maintaining them. The thorns are evil! 😀 I have been wanting to clean the trunks and this video was really helpful. Thank you!
Gracias por este video. Necesito ayuda con unas palmas que sembré en mi patio trasladadas de otro terreno. ?Cuanto tiempo se toman para aclamarse a mi patio y tener raíces nuevas?
My roebelenii palm is getting very tall and is leaning quite a bit. Should I support the base so that it doesn't break in a strong storm, or even on it's own weight?
I live in a park in FL. I just walked across the street and did my neighbors Pygmy Palm for free, just for the Lulz. It turned out looking great! I used a battery reciprocating saw and only had a hose for cleanup. See what you started!? Good man.
One you said to leave that brown fuzzy stuff on because it protects the head of the palm tree, I cheered like I was at a football game. It was taking SO long to take that stuff off, I didn't want to do it. Thanks for the guidance.
I have some of these and they’ve become very top heavy. One of them actually fell over and broke at the trunk. Is this common? How can I prevent this from happening to my other ones? The tree was planted in the ground outside. It was about 8-9ft tall. And it has never been cleaned like you show. They were planted many years ago.
Looks great. Have you ever had a palm die from a tight high trim? I took the FL Best Green Practice Class at the University of Florida and they say trimming off green palm frowns for a high tight look is bad for the palms health. What's your opinion?
The Sykes plant in my home garden was planted 13 years ago. It used to send leaves twice in the same year. I sent leaves twice, but the leaves did not complete growth, knowing that I fertilize it with organic fertilizer in the fall season.
To be honest I have never cleaned a desert spoon before. But I did google it. That thing looks dangerous. Lol. I would probably start by nipping off the tips so I would get stabbed. But I would have to be up close to one to see what exactly needs to be done.
Great video. No gloves!?!?!? I get close to mine and get impaled. Respect! Good idea about the pressure washer. Will have to try that next time. Thanks for the tips in this video.
I use the tip of my arborist chainsaw to shape the cones. Takes a little practice but it makes quick work of the job. I use pruners for final clean up. Definitely have to have a tarp on the ground :)
Ron Hart I never used a chain saw on these palms but I do use the chainsaw on bigger palms like the Sylvester, sabal and Washington palms but I have used hedge trimmer. Lol thank you for your comments and watching
Fran Hernandez thanks for watching!! 1. Protect the roots by covering with landscape soil or mulch 2. Protect the head by tying all the frons together 3. You can also cover with a frost blanket. But even all that work it still will not be a guarantee that they won’t get damaged. I will be making a video in December we usually don’t get a freeze until the end of January and in February. I hope this helped
Add more drip emitters so that you get even watering around the dripline of the palms. After that, you need to figure out what the flow (amount of water of each drip emitter) is and calculate from them. Depending on the flow of the dripper, that's how long you should water.
Best “how to” video out there.. thanks for putting this together

Thanks for the feed back . I’m glad this video was able to help you out.
Thanks for the instruction on cleaning/pruning the roebelenii palm. Good tip on pressure washing the lower trunk.
I did landscaping in CT before moving down to central Florida thanks to this video I now know how to prune Robellini’s. I just finished a job today and the clients loved it. They were badly neglected with a lot of old seed pods and not much of the trunk exposed. Now they look great!
Damn! no gloves!? you are a champ sir
I applaud you for not using a chain saw. They damage the tree as they are too aggressive. It does make a huge mess so I usually clean as I go.
I went and got a hand saw and my robolinis look amazing!!!! Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for showing how it’s done. I almost gave up because of the sharp needles but I see you doing it bare handed. Props.
Thank you for this informative tutorial. I learned a lot about the correct way to clean these palms. You are a great teacher.
good tips Moreno Thanks... ive never done something like that but now im ready..
You make it look easy. Great job!
Great video, very instructional & Best video I’ve watched. Thank you do much, able to trim & clean pgymy pslm!!
Very helpful, I'm from the Midwest and moved to California 3 years ago. Things are getting a bit out of control in my new California yard.
Thank you for watching!!
Nice video, checked this out since I saw a lot of folks coming to my channel from here. Super cool and great job!
I just found two of these on our property, this really helped me get them looking good amd healthy. I excited to see how our do. Thank you🤙🏻
Thank you! This is the first time I've seen this and I will be doing it myself soon :)
Great video!! I have many of these in my new place in need of this work. As you were cutting stuff off I thought I'll throw down a tarp and save a little time.. Thanks for sharing.. peAce
Awesome DIY, thank you and informative ! 🌴
Perfect thanks, a lot of help. I was wondering how to clean my palms from the bottom. I can trim the top just fine but the bottom always looks shaggy.
Appreciate it! Just what I was looking for. Nice job. 🙏🏼

Thank you! Now my Robellinis are nice and tight. Your superhero skill is trimming these without gloves!
Thank You for watching!!
Exactly what I was struggling with..thank you!
Glad I was able to help!!
Really helpful! Thanks so much, first timer over here…
Thank you sir, that was some good advices!
great video I have been paying big amounts and now do it myself !
are there pros and cons on cleaning up the robellini or is it just for looks?
Very cool !!
People dont realize Palms are botanically more of a grass than a tree... the giants of grasses
Very informative. Thank you for posting!
Thank you for watching!
Thanks for the tips. I was still getting poked through leather gloves. You must have hands like leather. Impressive.
It looks therapeutic to me, very relaxing
Gracias Jacob for the helpful information.
Thank you for the video! All the petioles/ bark was falling off my tree and I freaked out thinking it was root rot
Thanks a bunch. Very informative.
Thanks for sharing. Never stop learning.
Great work! Good to see competent work on youtube.
James Braun thank you and thank you for watching

Mine broke.

Why not cut the fronds all the way down when you trim if you cut the green cuts off when cleaning dry ones?
Thanks for sharing. What kind of folding hand saw is it?
Excellent video. How much should someone pay to have a roebelenii, like the one in the video, cleaned up? I live in Southern California. Thanks.
I have some of these and they’ve become very top heavy. One of them actually fell over and broke at the trunk. Is this common? How can I prevent this from happening to my other ones? The tree was planted in the ground outside. It was about 8-9ft tall. And it has never been cleaned like you show. They were planted many years ago.
what about using a handheld reciprocating saw?
Great video. Thanks for the info. Definitely wearing gloves.
I have one of this palms but one of the 3 is drying out not sure why is anything you recommend me to do to save it
Excellent video, sir. The *exact* information I was looking for. Thanks.
Looks great. Have you ever had a palm die from a tight high trim? I took the FL Best Green Practice Class at the University of Florida and they say trimming off green palm frowns for a high tight look is bad for the palms health. What's your opinion?
So far I haven’t seen a palm die because of trimming off green palm frowns but I have seen them die due to a freeze here in the Orlando area
Thanks for the tips! Appreciate it😊
Great video!!!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Where do I get one of those switchblade saws?
Please show a video of you pressure washing the trunk. How mature do pigmy palms need to be in order to clean and pineapple them?
Great video. That guy has some tough hands.
Perfect I have my first skinning job tomorrow!!!
When do you do this? Spring?
I like the pressure washing idea
Good tip with the use of the hand saw.
Thank you sir for sharing your wisdom. Liked & subscribed!
Thanks for the how to!
The Sykes plant in my home garden was planted 13 years ago. It used to send leaves twice in the same year. I sent leaves twice, but the leaves did not complete growth, knowing that I fertilize it with organic fertilizer in the fall season.
How tall do those get ?
Nice to see how it’s done
Great video brother!
Great info bro thanks for sharing
How do you clean a desert Spoon ?? I have one at a property that’s super overgrown from the bottom to the top of the trunk and it’s all dry/dead.
To be honest I have never cleaned a desert spoon before. But I did google it. That thing looks dangerous. Lol. I would probably start by nipping off the tips so I would get stabbed. But I would have to be up close to one to see what exactly needs to be done.
Thanks, that's the palms I have, cleaning them up tomorrow.
Yes sir I do the same but with my 22 ft manual pole saw
What brand/model of hand saw and pruner are you using?
Thanks! Great video a big help
Thank you for watching!
Great video. No gloves!?!?!? I get close to mine and get impaled. Respect! Good idea about the pressure washer. Will have to try that next time. Thanks for the tips in this video.
Thank you for watching and commenting!!
Great video chief!
Good information..thank you👍🏼
Thank you. Appreciate the vid.
Eres una bestia carnal! Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching!!
Thank you, me salvaste la tarde
Just planted a Pygmy Date Palm with 3 trunks. The video was helpful. What about the green leaves that were "hanging"? Was that a volunteer parasite?
Lol !! Yes . And the only way I know how to get rid of them is by picking them out. Or trimming them back.
Thank you for your comment.
@@MorenoLandscapingMaintenance Okay! Thanks for your response :)
Very nice video!
I use the tip of my arborist chainsaw to shape the cones. Takes a little practice but it makes quick work of the job. I use pruners for final clean up. Definitely have to have a tarp on the ground :)

it was grate thank you.
What spec pressure washer would be ok? I have a 1900 psi electric and I just ordered a 3000 psi gasoline operated
I could use the electric power washer. You don’t need a lot of psi
Thanks for the info!
Good work thank you
So helpful! Thank you!
My arms itch like crazy for days after I trim these things. Are there little bugs or parasites in that brown mossy stuff you're trimming away?
There could be little mites. But most of the time if you get poke by the thorns . That’s what can make you itch.
Nice job
Thank you!
How do you protect during a winter freeze? I almost lost mines last year.
Fran Hernandez thanks for watching!!
1. Protect the roots by covering with landscape soil or mulch
2. Protect the head by tying all the frons together
3. You can also cover with a frost blanket.
But even all that work it still will not be a guarantee that they won’t get damaged. I will be making a video in December we usually don’t get a freeze until the end of January and in February. I hope this helped
Thank you so much!🖖🏽
Pretty palm, was that a Fiskar pruner? I have the same, a bit heavy but good if I keep it sharp.
Brian Bullard I use stihl pruners and a stihl folding saw not really crazy for the friskar except for a 12ft extended pole pruner they have.
Good to know, thanks, keep rocking it!
help me why is my tree turning there leaves brown?
Thank you for sharing!
@@Plantlover-ou6rv Thanks for the kind words!
Thank you
good tips!
Dang! These things have 3 inch needles on them that are sharp!
I have 3 robeliniis in one spot with one dripper. I live in Arizona, my question is how often and how long am I supposed to water them?
Add more drip emitters so that you get even watering around the dripline of the palms. After that, you need to figure out what the flow (amount of water of each drip emitter) is and calculate from them. Depending on the flow of the dripper, that's how long you should water.
GC Landscape thanks for the reply.
No problem. Anytime
Yes I have mine on a drip but when its super hot and when I fertilize I give extra hand watering.
Hard-working Latin men that's why they have dominated the construction industry and the Landscaping industry. my people! viva la raza.
very nice good job thank you
James Grancio thank for watching
