i used to live in coastal SC and worked of ten with palms. at the time i only ever prunned them off a ladder or off the frony of my truck, but other guys i worked with spiked 'em. at the time, even though you could not spike a dicot tree i guess the thinking was it was still ok to hook n prune a palm tree. now i see in catologs guys rope climbing palms and i wonder how do you do this without breaking the "heart" of the palm with weight on your rope? i saw a few palm hearts get broken during transplant and the tree died in a matter of hours.
