This is sooo wrong. The tree should not be "skinned" of its boots--it weakens it. How would you like your skin removed? The green fronds should NOT be removed. You are denying the tree of necessary potassium and making it much more vulnerable in a hurricane. I'd fire these guys on the spot!
Nice. Those queen palms drop those old husks all day long if you do not trim the trunks. The trunk had a very pretty appearance afterwards that looks like bamboo if cut straight.
Great job showing how to hurricane prune a palm tree-the worst thing you can do for a palm trees health. Removing the dead fronds, fruit and flower is the most you should have done. If you are an arborist you would loose your license for doing this.

No hearing protection, no helmet no gloves bad pruning hazardous handling of the chain saw.
This is very bad for the trees. Impressive climbing even tho it is very dangerous.

Okay trimming is whatever. Why would you ever skin it though? The hell?
