All of the fruiting bundles have been removed from my 7 palm trees by six men who worked for 6 hours to remove them along with the heavy sheaths you can see hanging down like swords and the dry branchess. A big job. They are beautiful but messy and ultimately dangerous. Two or three times a year they climb these massive trees to remove them.

I used to have a really huge pear tree in m y backyard. GREAT fruit, but if you sat near the tree and one of those fruits dropped on your head, OUCH.

Mango trees create the same problems here..They could literally knock you out.

Yes that is exactly the things that are dangling down. I suggested to my husband that we had them removed (he was more in favour of removing the whole tree).

I’m thinking of removing one of them that is so tall it scares me a bit.
