My beautiful fan palm before Hurricane Wilma.
It was very damaged by the storm. I will send a picture tomorrow, but must of the frawns are damaged. Can I cut it low and hope for it to re grow the frawns?
That is not a palm- it is a Traveler's tree- Ravenala madagascariensis.
Hurricane damage is unsightly to be sure- my entire garden is shredded. But give the tree a bit of time to recover before you remove too many of it's leaves. It may take a year or more before all the damaged leaves are gone.
