Seed Pods and Drooping Fronds - Palm Trees in Arizona

In and around Phoenix, Scottsdale, Litchfield Park, Chandler, Mesa, Avondale, Gilbert, and Tolleson, many of the various types of palm trees are beginning to seed. It is that time of year; time to trim and prune your palm trees. When trimming your palm trees, or having this done by a professional, you want to wait until the pods seed to be sure you get all the seed pods in one trimming. Depending on the type of palm tree, this usually begins between the first and middle of June.

Only trim the brown drooping fronds on your palm. Do not trim off the ones that are still green; the tree needs them to collect sunlight to create chlorophyll for growth and best health.

To prune palm trees the key care factor is that only the palm knows when a frond needs to be pruned off, and that is when it is dying (yellow or brown). As each new leaf opens, it will take the place of a dying leaf. The palm knows the exact amount of fronds needed for a healthy Palm Tree. When Palms reach their ultimate height, the fronds will decrease in size and the palm trees will decline and die. As a new frond emerges, the oldest frond dies. The age that a frond may attain will be determined by many factors including size of mature palm trees and number of fronds produced.

Fertilizing established palms is an important way to keeping them vigorous.

In Arizona, nitrogen is the most commonly deficient nutrient; when it's missing, the older fronds turn yellow or pale green.

Some palm trees show Magnesium deficiencies; causing a yellow band on older leaves, with central vein remaining green.

Remember, discolored leaves on your palm trees do not recover. Therefore, preventive fertilization is best. Your palm trees will look more attractive when they have adequate nutrients.
