This has worked like a treat so far, Cut it back as described and within a day had 3mm of growth , 3 days later 10mm of growth. Hopefully this trend will continue. Thanks for the advice.
Old post but maybe you'll see it. I had a 7 year-old cane palm I had to move and transplant shock set in pretty quick. Would this method work for a cane palm as well?
Thanks for watching. Two years ago an arborist cut one of our Trachycarpus palms don with a chainsaw and it grew back full force. I have many videos here of it's progress. Just search chainsaw Trachycarpus palm
I have a washie here in Ontario. It looked healthy when i unwrapped this spring. Green and no spear pull. About a mont later it started to die so I did the cut bavk. I took it to about three inches off the ground and a couple of days later, boom! It started to push a new frond. Amazing who this works.
LOL! I did the same thing today to about a dozen of my palms. Then I spray the cut area of my Trachys with copper fungicide. For my Butias, I spray them with colloidal silver (they hate copper fungicide!) Hopefully we'll both have some luck with this :)
Thank you. I was so sad about my palm dying, after I covered it with frost proof covers for winter (I'm in London, UK), which I now regret. I will try this and never use those covers again; as I suspect it would've survived winter fine!
I have a Palmetto tree newly planted close to the end of summer. Coming out of a mild South Carolina winter the fonds are starting to turn brown. The whole time up until about a month age the tree had nice dark green fonds. The tree did start to push some new fond growth then suddenly seemed to stop. It’s warming up here now in South Carolina so what do you think? Will the warmer weather save this Palmetto tree? Do I need to add fertilizer around it right now? Should I drill a 2 inch hole near the root ball and water it once or twice a week? Oh by the way it’s growing in clay soil as well. I have another Palmetto tree about 6 feet away from this one and it’s not having any issues at all and growing well. Both trees were planted at the same time. Everything I did to one tree I did to the other. So I don’t understand why it looks like it’s starting to die.
Good time to hit it with some special palm food you can get at the nursery. Keep it watered well too if it gets dry there Some palms are also weaker than others just like people so they can suffer from things easier
Thank you for the quick reply. I wasn’t expecting you to reply until tomorrow since it’s so late but dang your awesome!!! I will take your advice and do just like you said. Again, thank you!!!
Great video. Will the same principle apply to a Pindo Palm? We had several hard freezes this past winter and I removed all the brown fronds. I pulled on the top a little & it seemed to be tight. I then poured a gal. of Copper Fungicide 2 wks. ago & now I pulled the top & it seems to be loose. I'm in zip 36526 and hoping you can help me save my once beautiful palm. Thank you,
Sr. moment, just realized due to the old needles my palm is a Canary Island and not Pindo. Will the same principle apply? I have already 2 wks. ago poured a gal. of Copper Fungicide down the center which is now soft but was hard 2 wks. ago. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.
I went ahead & removed 6" to find the hard core & yes I'm happy. Do I repeat the copper fungicide and if so how much? Also should I go ahead and use fertilizer / what kind do you suggest? We just had 4" of rain today so I don't need to water. Thanks again,
I have a 12 foot Fox tail that Ian broke the top unbranched stem on and no fronds left on the palm. Do you think taking a saw to the broken unbranched stem might work?
Hello I have a windmill palm that has browning spears here in dallas tx.. I planted my 6 ft palm April 10 2018 and Now I just did a spear pull.. any reason why it would brown and it was green when I planted it? I’ve watered every other day for the first week and every other day for week 2 and 3. I water twice a week now with temperatures at 90F
Hi Banana JSSI , I am in Ireland 🇮🇪, where chusan palms do quite good, mine became dormant, so I’m trying your tip . I sawed down to hard material, but see no sign of life. It was in that dormant state for about 3 years, so I probably ought to have done this way sooner
You should see signs of life shortly after this is done within a few days. I sawed one a few weeks back and nothing yet which tells me there is no life left in the poor palm. If life left in it then it will regrow
I have a home on the Big Island of Hawaii. We had a major Volcanic Eruption a year ago. Our home was about a block away from the big fissure, all our trees in the jungle had no leaves left from the gas emitted. All our coconut palms survived at first, then one of them stopped growing any new fronds, she's about 6yrs old and 12-15 ft high. She has one green frond left is all. Think I should do this? I'd hate to lose her. Lack of rain is not the problem we get approx. 130 inches per year. Thanks in advance, that's amazing. Hey, you wouldn't happen to know Mike Dennison on Quadra Isle would you?
Sorry to hear that. This method really only works with a couple of species and I only know of it working on Washingtonia besides these Trachycarpus palms. I highly doubt it will work on a crown shaft species. Quadra Island is far north of our island, but I have been there many times and it is quite nice, very laid back and quiet . It is approx. 150 miles north of our Southern Gulf Islands

Everything i have read says not to do that, my 16 ft palm is very poorly . Was given to me by a friend before she died , took a long time to dig up and was replanted in winter , with snow on the ground . Grew well to start with , a good 6 inches . then it went downhill , think it was a lack of water , i want it to live so much, what can i do ??? thanks im in the Midlands UK X
This will work on some but not all Trachycarpus fortunei. It just depends how much life is left in the palm. Other people use this method and often it works, but a not a 100% guarantee. At transplanting time always use transplanter liquid to water it with. Best topsoil in the hole and keep it moist and never let it dry out or they can go down hill fast.
Would this work on a sabal minor I had crown rot and all leafs are gone and it’s looking bad i poured some hydrogen peroxide down the crown should I try this method?
Is it possible to go too low? My windmill palm was dead with no spear coming out. I cut once, still dead in the middle. Two, three times. Now the middle is white but almost the entire diameter of the trunk.
On Feb 12, 2012 we hired arborists to cut down our mature grove of 100'ft tall Eucalyptus. One of those guys took his chainsaw and cut one of our palms nearly to ground level. You should see that palm now, it has regrown back and looks better than before. Lots of videos of it here. Chainsaw Trachycarpus palm
I have done updates. Unfortunately palm eventually declined and died. Some make it and some don't, just depends how far gone the palm is you try this on
@@BananaJSSI thank you for your reply, I have tried this on a young palm that I got 6 months ago, it started closing its leaves firs, and I thought it was because of lack of humidity, then watched it closely but it still started drying its leaves. Yesterday I did what you did on this video, and fingers crossed I hope it will make it!
Hello, I have a palm tree that stopped growing...I replanted it and add fresh soil but not much success.. It's summer time in Europe, can I do your method during the summer as well ? Because I fear if I wait too long (end of summer) the tree will be dead by then..
It stopped growing? How big is the palm and did you dig it from another area and ransplant it? Often it can take quite some time hen they are in shock. It may be working on new roots right now. If the fronds are green and healthy along with center spears the palm is fine. You should keep watering it and wait
@@BananaJSSI thanks for the quick answer .. The tree is about 2m counting the leafs size, the truck size is about 1m60 No same area : bought it a year ago I checked the roots when I added new soil I fear they are dried out: some were breakable : it looks in bad shape but I want to try my best to save it...
Hey, Thank you for sharing this video. I did this to my palm tree a month ago. Now I see slow growth in the center. Does that mean it is alive? Its a mexican fan palm tree.
HELP!!! Hello I have a sago palm tree, and it got root rot from a lot of rain last fall, my husband and I replanted it, took off the rotting roots, gave it fresh soil, and put in miracle gro. What else can I do, it’s very sentimental to me, my mother in law gave it to me before she passed. My palm tree is almost 14 years old.
Have to give it serious drying hit after well flushing and removing all the damage. For the future - extremely draining soil is your friend, as well as channels to make water go elsewhere, once flushed.
Just did this on my prized 7 ft Wagneriansis after spears pulled due to an insane drought, I’ve done this before on a med fan and it worked wonderfully, crossing my fingers but it doesn’t look hopeful, your palms can be saved!
If there is life left in the trunk then it works for sure, but of the trunk did indeed die then cutting won't help. Some made it some didn't.

So I just cut my 10’ windmill palm, back 6”, to see that the center area was mushy. From there, cut another 2’ off the top of the palm, and now the center appears to be solid wood. I hope a fronds push out soon! I’ll try and attach a picture.
I have 10 Canary date palms aged between 10-20 years and 4 huge ones over 60 years old. I tried to remove 2 of the smaller ones (which were becoming a nuisance) by cutting the tops off, exactly as in your video, but they went crazy with new growth and in 5 years grew above the house and became great shade trees for my bedroom and pool. I only recommend you do this with palms that you think are dying anyway (usually extreme frost or drought) until you are sure it works with that particular species.

Unfortunately if faded away. If there is life left in the trunk then for sure they will push new growth out. Kind of like the Palm tree we have that was cut to nearly ground level with a chainsaw, it looks amazing over two years later
@@redsealjourneymanreviews6647 You are referring to Cordyline australis and not palm trees. Many people mistake them for Palm trees, when they are not. They are far less cold tolerant than Trachycarpus palms which are planted everywhere in Victoria
@@redsealjourneymanreviews6647 Cordyline australis are common all over our south Islands and they are only hardy to around 18 F or so. Prolonged freeze like we had nukes them. Trachycarpus fortunei palms on the other hand are far more cold hardy and are long term here. You can see Trachycarpus palms growing all over. The town of Langford is full of them and they were not fazed by the December freeze, but the Cordylines certainly were. I was there to shoot a video a few weeks ago
@@BananaJSSI Sad. What about the "urine" thing? Supposedly watering them with urine works. I saw it on another youtube video but I couldn't understand what the guy was saying? I believe he said he mixes urine with water ... but again, I couldn't make out his accent.
@@earthwindfireable I never heard of the urine thing. This palm was indeed dead and did not regrow. I did an update video on it. I have done this with other palms in the past and they are doing well. I also have videos of them here. I didn't know I had an accent lol
@@BananaJSSI omg ok is tht why the riot at the roots? So what can ai do abt it because I truly wld love to see them in my house & be able to take care of them the best way I can. BananaJSSI how can I keep them mites out????
No, didn't kill the tree, since it was already near death. Have you seen my video of the Trachycarpus palm we have that cut to nearly ground level with a chainsaw? You should see it now over 2 years later, it looks amazing. This method works if there is life left in the trunk. I know that for a fact
Watering won't do a thing. They already had ample moisture so the next step is try to encourage new growth from the trunk if there is indeed life in them. You can cut them and hope for the best and some times they will send out spears, however if they are much closer to death then cutting will not do a thing
can i do this to a pygmy date palm? ive seen a lot that says cutting it this way will kill it.. but the palm i received was absolutely 100% dried out. it only had the smallest bit of green in just a couple of spots so i decided to try to save it. i cut the date palm this way but again everywhere else i have looked has said that cutting the palm from the top will kill it entirely.

Unfortunately if faded away. If there is life left in the trunk then for sure they will push new growth out. Kind of like the Palm tree we have that was cut to nearly ground level with a chainsaw, it looks amazing over two years later
hi from victoria our palms got savaged and i hope it lives
What happened to them?
@@BananaJSSI leaves fall down
@@redsealjourneymanreviews6647 You are referring to Cordyline australis and not palm trees. Many people mistake them for Palm trees, when they are not. They are far less cold tolerant than Trachycarpus palms which are planted everywhere in Victoria
@@BananaJSSI dang
@@redsealjourneymanreviews6647 Cordyline australis are common all over our south Islands and they are only hardy to around 18 F or so. Prolonged freeze like we had nukes them. Trachycarpus fortunei palms on the other hand are far more cold hardy and are long term here. You can see Trachycarpus palms growing all over. The town of Langford is full of them and they were not fazed by the December freeze, but the Cordylines certainly were. I was there to shoot a video a few weeks ago
This works guys i swear.
It can indeed work for sure
Oh, it works! See my pics on Twitter (Deplorable L Arroyo)
Right on! I have previous videos I have shot of me doing this years ago and those palms have nice full crowns now
Has it grown?
That one is definitely dead, Didn't do a thing after I cut it.
@@BananaJSSI Sad. What about the "urine" thing? Supposedly watering them with urine works. I saw it on another youtube video but I couldn't understand what the guy was saying? I believe he said he mixes urine with water ... but again, I couldn't make out his accent.
@@earthwindfireable I never heard of the urine thing. This palm was indeed dead and did not regrow. I did an update video on it. I have done this with other palms in the past and they are doing well. I also have videos of them here. I didn't know I had an accent lol
When you remove the meristem, of course it wont grow lol
That Eucalyptus trees surrounding the palms are the problem, it will kill everything, and it use a lot of water. That palm doesn't stand a chance.
We cut down all of those Eucalyptus trees on Feb 12 and the palms have taken off
My date palm dead by over watering
Sorry to hear that
Hey I cant see anything but a picture & you talking🤔🤔🤔
This is clearly a video. I just watched it
Ok it's sumthn wrng on my end...I am hvn prblms with keeping my majestic palms alive & I hvn done everything I cld...I just dnt hv a green thumb😣😢
@@swaggalicious3609 Majesty palms are difficult to grow as house plants because they are prone to spider mites
@@BananaJSSI omg ok is tht why the riot at the roots?
So what can ai do abt it because I truly wld love to see them in my house & be able to take care of them the best way I can.
BananaJSSI how can I keep them mites out????
@@swaggalicious3609 Mites love dry warm air and hate moisture. Always mist your indoor palms with water.. Mites don't like it
You had new ones coming up, all you did was kill your tree
No, didn't kill the tree, since it was already near death. Have you seen my video of the Trachycarpus palm we have that cut to nearly ground level with a chainsaw? You should see it now over 2 years later, it looks amazing. This method works if there is life left in the trunk. I know that for a fact
Why don’t you water them
Watering won't do a thing. They already had ample moisture so the next step is try to encourage new growth from the trunk if there is indeed life in them. You can cut them and hope for the best and some times they will send out spears, however if they are much closer to death then cutting will not do a thing
can i do this to a pygmy date palm? ive seen a lot that says cutting it this way will kill it.. but the palm i received was absolutely 100% dried out. it only had the smallest bit of green in just a couple of spots so i decided to try to save it.
i cut the date palm this way but again everywhere else i have looked has said that cutting the palm from the top will kill it entirely.
Unfortunately it won't ork on all palms, I have seen it done on Butia and Washingtonia as well, but Phoenix I have never seen it done
@@BananaJSSI fingers crossed then
