I have two Washingtonia Palms that need removal. In the past I have always passed on these jobs because info I have heard from others I worked with also on other sites. Always heard they suck to fool with, however there is quite a market very close to home. So I was wondering what others thoughts are on Palm removal. I have trimmed them before just never once even cut into a spar of one.
What I have heard:
-Palms are very acidic and you should take your saw apart to clean it when your finished with the Palm or ASAP.
-Palms will jam your saw up when cutting because of the fibers.
-If your stabbed with a spike from frond it can lead to a severe infection if not cleaned due to rodent droppings, roach droppings, etc..,
What I know:
-They have bats, mice, rats, snakes, roaches, squirrels, flying squirrels living in there at times. Oh yeh, bees and wasp as well.
Concerns:
-Saw getting jammed
-How to clean my saw at the end of the day
-Flying squirrels in one tree (was thinking I could hit it with the throw bag a few times to get them out before I climb it)
-Bees in same tree possibly probably do same as above
-Access (Planning SRT over the top with base tie
