Default Mature palm care - Which bits to prune / lop

"specialbeat" wrote in message
...

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


The palms are flowering/fruiting. Should be no problem to let them do their
thing, or prune the flower stalks off.

Beware so called "tree biologist" that never studied biology.
