Palms Kept Clean, Healthy and Safe
Dead fronds hang on a palm long after they turn brown. They look untidy, they can fall in a storm, and seed pods and fruit drop on cars, pool decks and walkways. McCullough Tree Service trims palms of any height across Longwood and Central Florida, from cabbage palms and queen palms to tall Washingtonias.
Many of our customers have their palms trimmed every year before hurricane season.
How We Trim Palms
- Remove dead and hanging fronds and old frond bases where they come off cleanly
- Cut off seed pods, flower stalks and fruit
- Leave the healthy green fronds: over-trimming (the "hurricane cut") weakens a palm
- Climb without spikes on healthy palms, so the trunk isn't wounded
- Haul away all fronds and clean up the yard
How Often Should Palms Be Trimmed?
Usually once or twice a year, depending on the type and health of the palm. Fast-growing palms and palms near pools, roofs and driveways often need it more often. We can set up a yearly visit as part of a tree care plan.

Yes. Our crew trims palms of any height safely.
Do you remove palm trees too?
Yes. If a palm is dead or diseased, we can remove it and grind the stump.
