Palm Trees

We watched the tree trimmers again this morning.  This is a daily occurrence at this time of the year and is certainly a lot of work!





 There are currently over 3200 palm trees in the park.  It takes about 6 weeks to get them all trimmed by doing about 75 per day.


This is a good photo showing some trimmed and some not yet trimmed.  It certainly makes a big difference.

When the trees are in full bloom like this, the little white flower petals sprinkle down like snow.


It leaves the streets and our patios covered in the white petals.
The street sweepers will get a good work out when the trimming is all done.



AND...........it takes a steady crew to pick up all the debris.
Go Jaime Go!!

The park purchased a wood chipper this spring that will be used to chip all of the palm fronds and will save money on green waste pick up from the city.
