If you are like me, when I see a giant Canary Island Date Palms towering over parking lots and accenting homes throughout California and often wonder, what does something like weigh?
We have spectacular Canary Palms and other palms
I know you have a busy life and the weight of a palm tree might not be the first question you have in the morning. However, if you see these magnificent trees in person, I am sure that question might be there somewhere.
I asked the man that knows it all... Kevin Gregory. This Canary (that I named Ralph) weighs 16,000 pounds... it's a 16 footer so basically a 1,000 pounds a foot.
A thousand pounds a foot is a smart calculation for any Canary Island Date Palm. Refer to this calculation when considering the location of one of these magnificent trees! CRANE IS A MUST.
I was at a customer's home in Tustin that had a huge Canary Island Palm Tree.The tree was growing on the property line between two homes. One of the neighbors hated it, the other was in love. They asked us to come out and help them with a solution. The customer noted that another company came out earlier that day and told them that they would remove the tree with 30 men. I did a serious eye roll on that one.
Over 16,000 pounds? There isn't enough men to move that palm tree.
The palm tree was removed and the feud ended peacefully. We planted a smaller, younger Canary Island Date palm in better location so this customer can enjoy the palm once more.
