FAQs – Palm Tree Removal Brisbane

• How do I know if my palm tree needs to be removed?

  While healthy palm trees don’t typically pose a safety risk, unhealthy palm trees can. Here are the signs it might be time to consider having your palm tree removed:

  • Your palm tree is extremely tall: If a palm tree grows too tall, it can become a threat to you and your neighbours’ safety, or potentially damage your property if it collapses during a storm.
  • Your palm tree has a build-up of external frond layers: These long and heavy fronds can prove damaging to your property during severe weather.
  • Your palm tree is diseased: If your palm tree displays signs of decay or disease such as trunk rot, wilting and necrosis of fronds, or sudden crown drop where the central growth spike suddenly falls off the trunk, these are signs that your palm tree’s structure may soon fall or collapse.

  Our professional team of arborists will happily inspect your palm trees and assess whether the fronds or tree pose a risk to you or your property.

• What should I do if I have a palm tree that I need to have removed?

  If you have a palm tree that, for whatever reason, you feel needs to be removed, call us. We will send out one of our arborists to advise you on the best way to proceed. Remember: palm trees are in a class of their own. They are tough trees and there are very few ways to remove it properly. As such, removal of a small or large palm tree should remain in the hands of a professional.

  Depending on the size of the palm tree, removal may not be necessary. However, if on inspection we do concede your palm tree needs to be removed, our qualified and skilled arborists can carry out the job easily.

• Can I remove the palm tree myself?

  We do not recommend attempting to cut down a palm tree by yourself. Removing palm trees requires a lot more skill than you may realise. In fact, climbing palm trees and cutting them down without proper equipment can be challenging, dangerous and stressful. That’s why it’s incredibly important to get professional help from arborists who have the right experience, skills and equipment.
