  • so In stead of walking around the tree you dig it up and spin it?

  • @SuburbanNinja8000 I'm not sure about that. It doesn't affect them here what so ever because the winter minimum temps. never get cold enough to harm them. I have seen pics. of stripped Trachycarpus palms at VA Beach, but that is also right on the coast as well. I don't think I would want to do it to a palm growing more inland where min. temps. are lower in the winter.

  • @bj616 What that be bad for the Tree in Northern states to do?

  • Actually I'm not a really big fan of stripped Trachys. IMO they look too skinny, especially when really tall. Of course that makes them look a bit more like Washys, but I've always preferred the dimensional proportions of an unstripped Trachy over those of a Washy. However, if you take a photo of a Trachy, blow it up, and put it in a photo so it looks 70 or 80 feet tall, I think it looks pretty tacky.

  • Many of the T.fortunei palms growing in our town are defibered. They kind of look alot more tropical that way. My friend does it with a boxcutter.
