When to prune Queen Palms

Someone said that Queen Palms fronts should be trimed in the fall. I've also been told to do it in June or January. We have 6 large trees and it gets quite expensive. What is the best time of the year to trim. We live in Calif. It's very hot during the summer and cold in the winter???

I asked Phil Bergman (the Author of this great article about Queen Palm Care and Use - you can contact him at www.junglemusic.net )

His response was "You can prune them any time of year. A good answer would be “when you can afford it”."

I hope this helps!
