Maple Tree · Gardenality Genius · Zone 10A · 30° to 35° F · Comment About Pruning
Remove all dead, damaged, yellowing, or diseased fronds, such as those that are rotting or heavily infested with pests such as mealybugs or spidermites. Make a crisp, one motion cut of the hand pruner blades 2 to 4 inches above where the frond stem attaches to the crown of the growing tip. Take care to not accidentally cut or damage any emerging, unrolling frond stems in this area.

Wear eye protection, long sleeves and gloves before working around the trunk and fronds of the tree fern as numerous skin-irritating hairs and scales line the fronds and stem trunk.
