kannot Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 palm tree roots are not invasive like normal tree roots, which is why i asked for a photo so i can see which palm it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anotheruser Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Then the problem is solved already. Cut it down. I was being a bit sarcastic.Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanyaburi Mac Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 We had four tall coconut palms in the yard taken down. I was mainly worried about me, or the grandkids, being whopped on the noggin and by the coconuts, did have some near misses. Quite a job, started with one of the workers scaling the palm then going over the green fronds to the top and cutting them out. Scary looking from the ground side view. Then a rope tied on to help guide the fall when the cut was made at the base. Mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac these thai workers have some big coconut balls of their own, or they don't understand the danger of working with a chainsaw out on a limb. amazing thailand.

Thanyaburi Mac Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Plus, note the spiked back fence. I suggested to the guy that he fall inside if he felt unbalanced.... Mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keeniau96 Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I have six tall (3-5 m) royal palms, beautiful plants, no coconut hassles and nice shade on the terraces. About 2 m from house, no root problems at all. Have a number of other palms, note show surface root problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mogandave Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Yeah, not likely to have rood damage from palms unless they are right up against the structure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
