Do not over prune. I used to live in Florida and was a certified landscape
maintenance supervisor and operator.
I have learned that I was over pruning. First you could just remove the
brown fronds. Second, leave some green ones to droop down.

There should be some drooping.

Beware of so-called tree experts who do not understand tree biology.
Storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions keep reminding us

Hi there.
I have a couple of Palm trees of unknown variety, and this year they
have sprouted extra kind of branches at the tops with what looks like
to be hundreds of berries. My question is this, do I need to lop these
new-ish branches off as they are starting to sag and making the palms
look untidy? I have already cut the dead leaves from the bottom of the
palms. Any help would be greatfully recieved. Many Thanks
