Palm Tree

Hi,

Ive recently started to try and get on top of my garden as it was growing out of control! I have a cluster of very large palm trees (im not sure if this was 3 trees planted together or 1 tree that has produced 3 trees).

Unfortunetely they have grown very large and are starting to engulf the plants surrounding them. I think they are far to deep rooted to try and move now.

Can anyone advise how I can get these under control? The rose next to them it really trying to bloom but is just becoming tangled!imageimage

    You could cut all of the lower leaves off to tidy them up.  More drastic is to cut them back to the ground and new ones will appear from the base and take several years to reach that size again.

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
