Your Grenada Property’s Coconut Palms Are Legally Your Problem

Coconut palm Grenada property owners are charged with duties that most people do not realize until the accidents occur. Periodically, the mature palms shed nuts that weigh around 3-4 pounds from a height of about 60+ feet. The resulting impact can inflict injury, death, or property damage. Legally, you are charged with the responsibility of preventing, through maintenance, such harm from occurring if it was foreseen.

Most Owners Skip Maintenance

Coconut tree Grenada maintenance is not very expensive compared to potential liability claims, but it is a scheduled professional service that requires the attention of the homeowner, who quite often fails to do so because trees “look fine” until someone gets hurt.

Hurricane Preparation Everybody Does Wrong

Grenada’s hurricane season makes the palms that are not maintained even more dangerous. The strong winds turn coconuts into projectiles and may cause the poor-quality trees to break down. Pre-season actions consist of getting rid of dead fronds, picking up coconuts, and checking structural stability.

The Lethal Yellowing Disease Spreading

Lethal yellowing disease is moving faster through the coconut population of the Caribbean than ever. Affected trees get cut down after a few months and become a danger by falling. The best way of handling this disease is to detect and remove the afflicted areas early, which will stop the spread and also the elimination of unhealthy dead trees before they fall.
