It's amazing how it seems not that long ago when we planted some coconut trees and it seemed like it took them a very long time to grow. Now they are sometimes too tall to reach the higher fronds without a ladder - wow!
Sometimes the fronds hit up against a neighboring tree, and it if happens to be a fruit tree, then we would rather the palm frond not 'beat the fruit tree to death' so the fronds need to be cut off the tree. There are several coconut trees, as well as several fruit trees that they are affecting, so trimming the coconut palm trees takes much more time than it used to, and also sometimes requires a ladder - our little trees are growing up! That's great news, as it means it is more likely we will get more coconuts, but it's also more challenging and time-consuming to trim the trees now. Oh well...
We also picked up over 6 five-gallon buckets of limes that were just laying underneath the lime tree and composting. Whoa! We wish we could send you all our extra limes! The lime tree is very prolific and we never lack limes! Trimming the lime tree is also very pleasant because the lime branches, unlike most citrus and other trees, produce a very strong lime aroma -mmmmmmm! So, it's a treat to actually trim the lime tree - such a yummy scent! Thanks lime tree!
