Bismark Gets A Haircut

Our Bismark tree has to get a trim every few months. It is amazing that it grows so quickly. Theresa and I decided to give it a good trim before we left for Xmas holidays.This tree has fronds that are very large and the stems are hard as a rock.

The tree will soon be too tall for me to do the trimming and I will have to get a professional to do the work. We planted this tree from a five gallon seedling and stood back. We love the color and the strength that the tree portrays and the neighbors love it as well.

My helper Theresa works along with me and we drag the fronds to the road for pickup. Every week we have a load for the city truck and they do an excellent job of cleaning up. We are half finished the job and will complete the work after Xmas.

Our Bismarker tree stands tall on the corner of our lot and is a good monument when giving directions to visitors.
