How do you trim the trees?

i've got lot's of palm tree's so before hurricane season i trim them all back, taks all the bottom fronds off, i just get n a ladder and use a chain saw, you have to get them close to the trunk. always where eyewware and watch for overhead electrical wires at least 100 people die each year from striking overhead wires with those long poles. be careful.

yes, i trim about every year, and it depends of the kind of trees.. the trees that, doesn't need to be trim that much since it is good as it is... but i trim the trees, especially the small ones so that it can have some style or contour...

I trim all my trees each and every spring of the year. I have the long hooked tool (pruner) that you're talking about, and also several other types of pruners. I think it's necessary to prune them in the spring so that their growth is more orderly and to give them a better shape. I also trim all my hedges and shrubbery each spring. Most of them can be trimmed in the spring before the growth starts again, but some of them have to wait until after blooming (or you cut the blooming ends off.) I'm lucky...the giant old maples out by the roadside are kept in trim by the road crews, so I don't have to worry about them!
