Tune in to the latest episode of the DIY Naturepest Podcast, where holistic pest control management specialist Franklin 'The Pestgeek' Hernandez explores the common pitfalls of pruning Canary Island Date Palms in Florida. Discover why giving these palms a "pineapple" trim is a big no-no, and learn the essentials for maintaining a healthy tree. With Franklin’s expert guidance, understand the ideal leaf base of around 90 degrees and the crucial soil nutrients like potassium and manganese that these palms crave. This episode highlights the risks of over-pruning, such as yellowing leaves, and outlines a care regimen including minimal pruning and consistent fertilization every three to four months. Franklin advises letting nature take its course for recovery, which might take up to a year but is well worth the wait for a lush, healthy palm.
