I Have A Double Foxtail Palm. The Smaller One Looks Dead. Can I Amputate The Dead One Safely?

Question

I suppose I would have a professional landscaper do this for me if you think it is a solution.

Answer 1

It is best to have a professional do this, but you can take this task on, yourself, if you keep sterile. The problem comes when infection is introduced from improper pruning.
