1. If the frond is yellow, brown or broken prune it off.
2. Remove loose petioles or boots by hand. If they don't pull off, leave them on.
3. Remove flower and fruit stalks. The formation of fruit and seed takes strength away from the palm unnecessarily. When mature, fruits may provide food for pests such as rodents and birds. Palms, such as date palms, produce infertile (where there are no male trees near by) or fertile fruit that will later drop, make a mess or stain concrete surfaces. The seeds of some palms such as Fan Palms (Washingtonia robusta/filifera) will germinate in undesired areas of the landscape.
4. Some clumping palms may need to be thinned out or new growth pruned off if the palm is getting too big for the space in which it is growing.
