Queen Palm Bracing, Florida

This was a residential project in which a homeowner wanted to install Queen Palms around their property. One tree was planted along the driveway and an additional Queen Palm was planted beside the pool deck. With this project location in a residential neighborhood, the homeowner was very pleased with the clean, virtually invisible look of the Gripple Palm Bracing Kit compared to the 2×4 bracing.

Bracing newly replanted palm trees is extremely important for allowing the root system to grow and mature in the soil. The Gripple Palm Bracing Kit holds the palms steady and straight for the duration of their maturation and prevents blow-over. This is especially important in cases such as this where the trees could fall across the driveway, into the pool, or onto the house.

One week after installation, Tropical Storm Colin blew through Central FL and had wind gusts up to 40 mph. Even with high winds and heavy rains, the Gripple Palm Bracing Kit held the trees firmly in place.

The Gripple Palm Bracing Kit was quick to install and left a clean, virtually invisible finish compared to bulky 2×4 bracing. It saved installation time and looked far better in a residential setting. Even after Tropical Storm Colin brought high winds and heavy rain, the palms stayed straight and secure.
