Notice that the fronds on these two trees are cut to the ten-two position like on a clock but that there are several stalks shooting out and hanging downward that have flowers and seeds on them. Someone pruned these trees much too soon. This is why my palm trees in the backyard are always pruned in mid to late June to void this situation. So, there is your palm tree education for today! Sunshine and 101 degrees are up for this wonderful Thursday. What’s up in your neck of the woods today?

Very interesting! I don’t know much about palm trees, we don’t have any where I live. 😊
Beautiful photographs, Thank you dear John, have a nice day and enjoyable weekend, (and and without scorpion days) Love, nia
Wow, didn’t know that about palm trees. Very interesting and lovely image!
Thank you, Pooja! I didn’t either until I purchased my home and became responsible for their care. My HOA will fine owners if they don’t prune their trees! That was the day it rained hard, twice!
My pleasure! Oh wow, I see. I guess that makes sense since they probably don’t want the area to look too shabby.
Yes, that and the seeds will cause a bunch of baby trees to pop up I’ve pulled many baby palms up!
Oh I see, that makes sense.
I want to live in a Home Owners Association because I don’t want to see engine blocks and oil on my road and the eyesores that come with it, as one example. Most folks here play by the rules. 👍🏻
I totally understand, it’s good to have some rules to keep the area nice.
