Care Of Cabbage Palm

Question

This plant is about 5 foot high. It has one main trunk with a slightly small branch.0 The leaves of both of these are growing into each other. Should I cut off the smaller branch to increase growth in the main trunk? There are lots of smaller leaf grown at the base of the main trunk should I remove them to enhance the main trunk growth?

Answer 1

This will be up to you, whether you want to remove the branch or not. If you choose to remove it, then do it in late spring or summer. This will be the same with all pruning. If you decide to keep the branch, then you will want to thin out the center where leaves overlap and crowd.
