The climber.

 

One little trimming knife.

 

You can trim palms a little at a time and keep them looking full and natural.  That’s what we did with the palm trees on our site at Gulf Waters as long as we could reach them.  When you have to pay someone to climb the trees and trim them, it makes more sense to pineapple them, so the trimming doesn’t have to get done so often.  We don’t have to pay for the trees to be trimmed here, but the park does.
