pygmy palms

Question

I have a pygmy palm tree in the front of my house. It is a beautiful specimen; however, it is beginning to grow “Leggy” or taller than I anticipated. Is there a way I can curtail or discourage the palm from growing taller? Can I prune the top to force it to grow outwards instead of upwards?

Answer 1

Pruning should be limited to removing yellowing, diseased or damaged fronds. Over pruning can lead to the decline or death of the palm.
