CHILLI FM SPOTLIGHT

Spaintree Arbolista: the people we’d trust with our palms

A tall palm or a big old pine is lovely right up until it isn’t. When a listener asks us who to call, this family firm from Manilva is the name we give, and they’ve been doing it on the coast since 1998.

Why we recommend them

Tree work is one of those jobs where you only find out how good someone is when it goes wrong: a branch through a roof, a palm that dies a year after the “clean-up”. Spaintree have been on the coast for more than 25 years, and they know what heat, drought, storms and the red palm weevil do to trees here.

What we like most is that they’ll come and look before anyone talks money: a free visit, a clear quote, and a team that speaks English, Spanish and German. And because they do gardens and pools too, you can hand them the whole outside of the house and stop juggling three different people.

Our tips for palm and tree owners

Watch your palms

Drooping or wilting fronds in the middle of the crown can be the red palm weevil. Caught early, a palm can often be saved. Left for a summer, usually not.

Don’t over-prune

Stripping a palm down to a few fronds looks tidy but stresses the tree and leaves fresh cuts that attract pests. Ask for green fronds to be left on.

Plan before storm season

Get big trees near the house, pool or road checked before the autumn winds, not after. A free look now is cheaper than an emergency call-out later.
