Hi, I'm so glad you're here. I've spent years working with palms of all shapes and sizes — from the scrappy little pygmy date palms in suburban front yards to towering Washingtonias on commercial properties — and I can tell you firsthand that most of the damage people do to their palms comes from good intentions and bad information. I created this course because I kept seeing the same mistakes over and over: fronds cut too early, boots hacked off instead of peeled, trees pruned into dangerous "hurricane cuts" that actually weaken them. I want to give you the real knowledge — practical, biology-based, and safety-first — so your palms thrive for decades to come. Let's get into it.
