Last week we had the tree guy here trimming our palm trees. We have 5 around our property and sometimes the leaves go brown and look really untidy so we contacted our landlord who arranged for Steve (above) to come and have a look. Immediately he got to work and also had a wood chipper he put everything into.
I don't know if you have heard of Phoenix Palm trees but they grow on average to about 18 metres tall and if you get stung by their leaves with your fingers/hands or stand on them they can lead to an infection, they really are nasty.
Linking up with Skywatch Friday.

Beautiful trees to have in your garden
I don't know anything about palm trees. The ones you have sound quite dangerous to have in the garden.
Good to have them trimmed. Nice to look at from a distance but I would not want one in my garden.
...when I go to Maui I see them trimming the coconut palms.
New to me, but that is to be expected.
I always find it a bit dangerous to walk beneath the ones around Hamilton Lake - because of all the sparrows and pigeons that live in them!
Hope they give also some tropical fruit to undo the danger they pose.
Nice capture and interesting information.
That's interesting about the phoenix palm trees.
I know that when I lived in Houston, Texas when they trimmed whatever type palm trees they had, huge brown cockroaches flew out of them like crazy.
Even if dangerous... beautiful and glad you got help so quickly.
Palm tree trimming is a constant job. I see it all the time here.
It looks good now - didn't know that about those pzlm trees. About the rugs they are felted wool and embroidery and i thought they were local but my landlady said 'Persian' so I've no idea, but agree they are lush.
I like the look of palm trees, but they are high maintenance. And expensive to maintain, especially when they get tall.
Great shots.
Greetings and Salutations! I did not know that they are dangerous to bump into. mmmm, good thing you contacted owner and had these palm trees trimmed. Be safe.
That tree reminds me of a pineapple. Skiny and tall pineapple. :)
