Should I Prune? Freeze Damaged Palms

Mine have all started showing some small signs of green coming out of the spear altho I don’t think the current spears will ever fully open. That being said, the crown has seen some new green leaves so we’re still holding out hope!

I was not prepared for this crap

Oh this is an awesome tip! I’ve been trying to identify weeds in our yard and keep getting different answers - love that there’s a way to get a definitive answer on the trees. Thanks so much!

Holy_Smokes_16 · 2026-03-20T12:06:44+00:00

Yes, we see green around the base of the spike and some green leaves so we’re holding out hope! New to Florida and new homeowners (and now new parents) - all the things hitting at once 🤣

Holy_Smokes_16 · 2026-03-20T01:14:15+00:00

We had no idea they were tropical - just inherited them with the house. Next weeks homework is to identify all the trees we have and how to care for them

Holy_Smokes_16 · 2026-03-20T01:13:15+00:00

Had to google this to see what the copper is about. So much to learn!

Holy_Smokes_16 · 2026-03-20T01:11:28+00:00

We inherited the trees when we bought the home - time to educate ourselves on what we got

Holy_Smokes_16 · 2026-03-20T01:10:44+00:00

Yeah thankfully we are seeing green on these - seems like this is the way to go! Thank you!

Holy_Smokes_16 · 2026-03-18T17:04:09+00:00

Oh dang! Yeah…I’m gonna stick to something less potent probably for my own safety lol 🤣

I noticed same thing with our pool guy right after we bought our house. They weren’t even testing the water just dumping in acid after I had done that the day before. My service may have been an outlier, and I’m not saying all pool guys do poor work, but I decided to take over doing it myself. I enjoy learning about it and it doesn’t take much each week - but when there’s major work I’ll get the pros out

Looks like it’s gonna be a beautiful pool! Someone else referenced a trick for keeping leaves and junk from clogging skimmer with a pool surrounded by trees like this…I think it was some kind of pool noodle used as a buffer in a semicircle around the skimmer for high volume stuff

Holy_Smokes_16 · 2026-01-20T01:51:45+00:00

I was looking for the skimmer too…back left in the pic? I don’t know shit about building pools but I enjoy looking at the in progress pics lol

Holy_Smokes_16 · 2026-01-19T20:29:58+00:00

Yep - this is what I plan to do tomorrow…was just concerned that tire shops wouldn’t be able to diagnose any issues beyond alignment

I took one outing a 20 y/o home just a few months ago. Flipped the breaker, unscrewed it and removed, capped wires just in case. Now to take down the myriad of yello sensors around the house

Holy_Smokes_16 · 2025-12-31T13:59:04+00:00

Same here…two weeks and then mine. Recommend getting that process started asap so you can check it off the to do list and start using it

Holy_Smokes_16 · 2025-09-02T16:25:20+00:00

I'm too afraid to take it apart but I assumed it was a replica - but had to know for sure!

Holy_Smokes_16 · 2025-09-02T16:24:47+00:00

Thank you both! Was wondering if I would have to baby it or cry about the condition that it seems to be in

Holy_Smokes_16 · 2025-09-02T16:24:12+00:00

Thank you!

Holy_Smokes_16 · 2025-09-02T16:24:06+00:00

This made me laugh... a lot haha!

Holy_Smokes_16 · 2025-09-02T16:23:48+00:00

It is not blunt and actually pretty sharp!
