You're welcome! 😊 I'm glad you found it interesting. If you ever have more questions or need a fun fact, just reach out!

Thanks for the shoutout! 😊 Always aiming to look sharp and stay professional. Any other aspects of the job you’d like to hear more about?

Agave cactus sounds like a real challenge! 🌵 The battery-powered Sawzall trick is a smart move. Have you found any effective methods for dealing with cactus disposal? It’s quite the ordeal!

Sounds like you've got the palm tree maintenance down to a science! 🌴🔧 Any secret tips for keeping chainsaws in top shape when tackling those sap-heavy giants?

Peeling off the trunk sounds like an interesting approach! 🌴🪓 The fibrous nature of palms might make this possible, but it could also be quite labor-intensive. Have you tried this method or seen it done before?

Absolutely! 🌴💧 Freshly cut palms are like sponges. Their water content makes them super heavy. Any tricks you’ve found for managing or drying them out?

@@shanestrees9035 Don't try to fell them like a normal tree, make sure you miss your vehicles when you drop the chunks! Most big palm trees are removed in chunks, and the chunks winched into dump trailers. Cutting the top off and letting them dry in place works but it's UGLY.

Exactly! 🌴 Their fibrous structure can be a double-edged sword-clogging chainsaws but giving them resilience in high winds. Have you found any tricks for dealing with the mess they create while cutting?

That's a serious tree-taming operation! 🌳🌴 It sounds like you had a mini forest going on. How did the garden turn out with all that fresh mulch?

@@shanestrees9035 it was over an acre in size, the cocos palm were on the main road side! Unable to walk past due to the marbles, had to be careful whilst mowing incase of shattering windscreens of passing cars. The box tree, typically gets a worm in it and dies at 13 years old! Worm can be an inch plus across, 5he Silky Oak? Just magnificent in timber furniture or features of a house with clear varnish due to the grain and eyes in Silky oak timber. I subdivided the block and planted Cassia Javanicas around the boundary to overhang the footpaths. In 44 degree Celcius summers? All the local kids live under those trees now cooler to play but safely open to parents view! I'm not anti tree! I think my end solution met the wider needs of the community for many years. ☺

Burning palm tree wood in a fireplace is possible, but it’s not ideal. 🌴🔥 Palm wood can produce a lot of smoke and creosote, which can lead to chimney buildup and potentially hazardous conditions. It’s best used in outdoor fires or proper wood-burning setups.

Wow, that’s a serious warning! 🌴🔧 Palms must be a real challenge for chainsaws. Do you have any tips or alternatives for dealing with them that don’t involve renting a chainsaw?

Glad you enjoyed it! 🌳 Do you have any other tree topics you'd like to see covered next?

You're welcome! 😊 Glad you enjoyed the content. Thanks for the recommendation-I'll definitely check out ‘Wilson Forest Lands’ for more great info!

Not quite! 🌴 While palm wood might not be ideal for everything, it does have its uses. It can be great for certain outdoor applications, like garden mulch or landscape features. For fuel, it’s more about finding the right application where its properties can shine, like in biomass energy setups.

@@shanestrees9035 copy that

In a way, yes! 🌴 Just like chainsaw safety trousers protect you from sharp chains, palm trees have their own unique defense mechanisms, like tough, fibrous trunks. Both are all about handling hazards in their own way!

Palm trees are not technically grass but are closely related to grasses as part of the monocot family, like bamboo and sugar cane. 🌴 Bamboo and sugar cane can also be tough on chainsaws. Bamboo, with its dense, fibrous structure, can quickly dull blades, while sugar cane has a high moisture content that can be hard on saws. For all these, it's often best to use specialized tools and techniques to handle the challenge.

Great point! A manual saw might handle palm's fibrous texture better, cutting through it without the clogging issues of a machine. Have you had better results using manual tools on tricky palm trees?

Thanks a lot! I’m always happy to share what I know. Are there any other topics you're curious about? 🌿😊

​@@shanestrees9035hey mate I think you could do a plant ID series.

Exactly! 🌴 Their flexibility is like nature’s built-in storm defense. Ever seen a palm tree bounce back after a big storm?

@@goofykl9 if I lived in Florida which I don't, but lived in North Queensland where or Cyclones ( reverse hurricanes, hurricanes spin anti clockwise, cyclones spin clockwise) the best protection apart from Palms is Actually Bamboo! A massive clump of bamboo will protect people in the centre of it far better than many houses! ☺

Definitely! Palm wood can be surprisingly dense and heavy. 🌴💪 It might not always behave like typical hardwood, but it definitely packs a punch. Any tips for handling it more easily?

@@shanestrees9035 lift with the legs!

that’s fantastic to hear! 😊 I’m glad I could make an impact. If there’s anything else you’re curious about or need a good laugh, just let me know!

@@shanestrees9035 I definitely will brother 😊

Palm wood and similar materials can be used as fuel, but they have some drawbacks. 🌴🔥 They tend to burn quickly and may produce a lot of ash and smoke. The high moisture content in fresh palm wood also makes it less efficient as a fuel source. It's generally better suited for outdoor fires or industrial uses rather than indoor heating.

That’s incredible! 🌟 Fossils can offer so much insight into the past. What’s the most fascinating thing you’ve learned from studying them?

Good tip! 🌴 Palm sap can definitely wreak havoc on saws. Have you found any tricks for keeping your chainsaw in top shape after dealing with those pesky palms? 🪚🔧

@@shanestrees9035 . I've been a Fire fighter instructor for 15 yrs. Petrol and a wire brush until you can get to a decent parts washer. Your saw will jam and clog due to the fibres.

Thanks for the insight! 🌿 While 'palm plant' might be technically accurate, it could leave viewers wondering what it is. The video aims to reach a broad audience by using 'palm tree' in the title and explaining what palms are made of within the content. This way, everyone can appreciate the unique nature of palms, even if they aren’t familiar with the term 'commelinid monocot.' Hope you enjoy the deeper dive in the video!

Too easy mate! Glad to help you unravel anything you like about trees!
