Trimmers do as they're asked to do. Butchery Hills was infamous for doing that kind of thing for years.

i think its both the trimmers and the owners, i dont think we can blame just one. i for one HAVE seen trimmers do this wthout anyone telling them to

I know the trimmers are at least partly to blame. I stopped to talk to trimmers in Hilo last year who were turning the most beautiful groves of coconut palms in a public park into shaving brushes. When I said I wanted talk about the trimming, they replied by remarking that the palms look so much more beautiful with a shaving brush shape! Yikes!! There is a golf course just down the street with currently untrimmed coconuts, and the crowns are a complete healthy green sphere. The lowest green fronds hang against the trunk, and are admired that way by everyone else I speak to about it. They are about the most beautiful cocos I have seen anywhere in the world. I do believe the parks dept. gives instructions to take only fronds hanging below horizontal these days.

Mostly I think we can blame the greedy unscrupulous members of the public who will sue the county for $100,000 if something falling from a coconut palm so much as makes a tiny nick or scratch on their car.

The folks at Merritt Square are at it again... after being mentioned in this thread back in April(ish), they trimmed their CIDPs yet again... I think I'm going to write a letter to the management office about the harm they are doing to their trees. There is an absolutely gorgeous CIDP about a mile down the road from them. Theirs just look ridiculous.
