Remember the rogue palm?

 

 

 

It was a giant palm tree masquerading as a little Mediterranean Fan Palm.  It gave itself away by growing up big and fast.  I took care of it by cutting it back and lopping off the center spike so it couldn’t make any more leaves.

 

Well, the lesson wasn’t learned.  It quickly recovered and got big and bushy again.

 

You can see the squared-off tops of the new leaves from when I whacked them three weeks ago.

 

Today, more drastic measures were required.

 

No more central spike on that invasive stalk now!
