Palm Tree Removal Brisbane North

Certain varieties of palms produce massive qualities of fruit, even for a single tree. These palms may look beautiful but are a nuisance if you have no plans to harvest the fruit, with the fruit growing in abundance before it is forced to drop. This only true solution is to remove the flower or fruit stalks before they mature, which can be done during the palm tree cleaning process.

For certain types of palms, another point to keep in mind is the fruit they produce gives off a very nasty smell if left to rot on the ground. You are then forced to either put up with the odour or manually shovel and remove the rotten dropping from your premises. Decomposing fruit and seeds can likewise attract unwanted insects to your property such as fruit flies.

Seeds, berries or fruit from palms can also be physically dangerous if left unattended on the ground, rolling underfoot like marbles and acting as potential tripping hazards.

Date and Coco palms are two such palms and require greater maintenance, growing wildly if left unattended and giving off an unkempt appearance to the rest of your garden and lawn. Cotton palms have their tricky requirements to attend to when it comes to cleaning and pruning because as they grow, they expand and spread outwards. Some variations of cotton palm also grow very sharp, perilous spikes which can make manoeuvring up and around them a nightmare and a safety concern for non-experienced climbers.

Regardless of the variety of palm or whether they are self-cleaning or not, pruning large palm trees can be very dangerous. Due to the heights palm trees can reach in maturity, accessing the fronds, seedpods and fruit stalks for pruning and removal can be challenging. You need the right tools and equipment to efficiently and most importantly safely, reach these high elevations in a practical way that allows for palm tree cleaning.

We provide skilled palm tree cleaning specialists that are the masters in reaching these hard to reach places, without causing detrimental harm to the base, structure or trunk of the tree. This ensures the palm keeps its aesthetic appeal and beauty in your yard, and a tree that is not marked and scratched, because damage done to a palm’s trunk will often never heal again.

Perhaps the greatest reason to use a professional palm tree cleaning service is the expertise to know exactly what should and shouldn’t be pruned and removed from your palm trees. They are a unique breed of tree, storing reserves of starch in their trunks that can be assembled during periods of stress, such as fire or frost, to regenerate lost fronds.

They are designed to try and rejuvenate these lost green fronds as fast as possible, because they are crucial to the life force of the palm, producing food and keeping it healthy.

Overzealous pruning can actually be detrimental in keeping a palm tree alive, and it is regularly a mistake many amateurs make during the procedure of cleaning palm trees.

Palm trees need enough healthy fronds for nutrients, so be able to identify what can be safely removed and what should be left alone during the clean-up process is a priority. B&R Tree Services only use palm cleaning pros, who have the experience and expertise to recognise clearly what can be removed without causing long-term damage to the palm tree.

These are just a few reasons why palm cleaning is best left to a professional, rather than an amateur, as the process can be much more involved than simply hacking away at the palm tree.

Trees need to be removed for various reasons. Whether the roots are damaging your pipes or you no longer desire it to be part of your landscaping. More importantly, if you suspect a palm tree has become diseased or badly damaged in a storm, it becomes a safety hazard and should be removed immediately. A storm-damaged tree is much easier to spot than a diseased tree.

Listed below are the three most common disease types in Australia:

• Bud Rot:

   This type of fungus is most common in the summer and attacks the heart fronds of palms. Bud Rot is a type of fungus that infects the fronds and subsequently causes them to shrivel up and die. If caught in the early stage of the disease, chemicals can be applied to treat your palm.

• Fusarium Wilt:

   This type of fungus was first detected in the early 1980’s. The main symptom of Fusarium Wilt is that fronds lose their lustre, begin to wilt, and eventually die. This is a particularly devastating disease as there is no known cure. Once a tree is infected it must be removed to keep the fungus from spreading spores to other trees.

• Ganoderma Rot:

   Originating in Florida, this type of fungus is relatively new to Australia. At the moment, no species of palm is known to be resistant to Ganoderma Rot. This disease enters the palm through a wound, quickly makes its way to the centre and causes the wood to rot. Given enough time, the fungus forms a horizontal white disk on the bark, which is commonly referred to as a “conk”. As with Fusarium Wilt, there is no known cure and trees with Ganoderma Rot need to be removed at once.
