Palm Tree Skinning

Palm tree skinning is when the remains of dead fronds are removed from part of the tree, or along the entire length of the tree. Palm tree skinning is not to the benefit of the tree. The purpose of fronds are to protect the tree from frost, wind and other external elements. This practice is used exclusively for cosmetic purposes and if done correctly it should not hinder the tree in any way. Depending on the type of palm tree removing or cutting back fronds can be next to impossible without the correct know-how or the proper tools.
