How to smooth the trunk of a windmill palm tree?

Jul 09, 2006 4 Replies

I have seen windmill palms where it looks like someone cut rings around the trunk to make the trunk look smooth.



How can I do this for my windmill palm?



Do I need a special tool?

Did you notice the words "Avoid damaging lower trunk and roots"??? Leave your tree alone.

And how many palm trees have you owned?

STFW, Search the F Web. It's amazing what you can find, when enter "smooth palm trunk" in Google. First link has detailed instructions on how to do it.
