Spikeless Climbing Coconut Palms with Tree Climbers
Переглядів 22021 день тому
Using spikes to climb palm trees is extremely damaging to the tree, both aesthetically, physically, and functionally. Each hole from a spike is another spot that can  be vulnerable to the introduction of funguses and other pests, which can have adverse effect on the Trees. Climbing without spikes is the way to go and these death-defying Hawaiian climbers show us how it’s done.

    My Longan & Lychee is producing fruit in Zone 8b West of Paso Robles Ca. elevation 2000. Waiting for the fruit to get bigger before I do a video on it. Choquette, Lamp Hass, Bacon, Wurtz, Nabal, Lamp Hass, Gwen, Jan Boyce, Queen, Sir Prize, GEM, Reed, Edranal, Carmen, and Don Gillogly is loaded with fruits. My tree is still young. Some of avocados trees the fruit is getting bigger. Lamb Hass, Hass, Fuerte, Bacon, Wurtz, all of those varieties is producing mature fruits on my trees. Feb.25-2023 we had snow that lasted for three days. None of my trees die or burn. Including newly planted avocado trees without protection. I have video to prove it.

    Hi Gary - I am thinking about planting a couple of Mamey Sapote trees in my yard. I live in Zone 10b in the San Fernando Valley in LA County. It is fairly dry and gets into the 100's regularly during the summer, so it's not Florida-like conditions. Do you think it would work, and if so, do you recommend a particular variety? Thanks

      @@ScaryHairyGary If a certain quantity are strategically culled, it might reduce the stress as you say, and lessen the trees tendency to alternate bear fruit (annually) - thus increasing the chances of bearing fruit next year. It might be worth a try.

      No, I mean, avocado fruitcapalypse because the worst thing that can happen for the health of an avocado tree is to have too much fruit on it and have all the energy go to the fruit to the detriment of the tree. I’ve never seen more fruit on trees this year, so I worry that the trees will suffer severely from it. Time will tell

    A really cool video would be a do it yourself palm weevil treatment video. I have heard of people using a strong imidacloprid systemic such as dominion 2L plus spraying the crown. The city of San Diego surprisingly has been treating a very old strip of canary palms on Catalina Blvd that are around 100 years old using the injection method which has been working for the past few years but I am not a fan of drilling into the trunks. Atlas tree service uses a gas powered device to squirt the systemic into the dirt around the base of the trunk which really seems to work. I tell people to use Atlas tree service when there palms are being affected. Obviously it is best to do it long before you see any damage to the crown. This iconic Jubaea Chilensis in my neighborhood that is the largest nicest one I have ever seen was just killed by it.

      @@ScaryHairyGary I knocked on the door and they had no idea and they said they were going to immediately get Atlas to come out and treat it but I think it is too late. All the palm gurus talk about this palm. My grandfather was friends with Bill Evans Sr. of the Catamaran hotel and he said Bill used to want to buy the house just for the palm. The homeowners also said they have got many knocks over the years of people wanting to buy the palm. There is a video of someone driving down Chatsworth St. in 1970 and it was big back then. It really was the nicest largest one I have ever seen.
