When people hear “self cleaning palm”, they usually think it means the tree never makes a mess.
That’s not quite how it works.
Some palm species naturally shed their old fronds and seed pods as they grow.
Others hold onto dead growth for years, which is why some palms can start to look untidy, overgrown or build up with dead material around the trunk.
That’s where palm cleaning comes in.
Not all palm trees are self-cleaning, and some need a little help to keep them looking their best.
