We had got these pictures sent over an wanted to take a little bit about palms / decay in palms
🌴 Palm Trees Are Tougher Than You Think! 🌴
One thing I’ve learned as a Certified Arborist is that palm trees can withstand a lot more than most people realize!
Even with internal decay or cavities in their trunks, some palms can continue growing, producing healthy fronds, and standing strong for years.
🌴 But here’s the interesting part: Just because a palm has decay doesn’t automatically mean it’s going to fail, and just because it’s green doesn’t mean it’s structurally sound!
Palms are built differently than traditional hardwood trees, and understanding those differences is important when evaluating their health and structural integrity.
