It's time for a lesson about palm trees. Don't worry—it won't be long. Palm trees are monocots, putting them in the same plant group as grass, wheat, many flowers and even pineapples and asparagus. It's all to do with the root system. The roots of monocots differ to those of dicots, which tend to snake down beneath the ground and spread outwards. Have you ever seen a palm tree out of the ground, ready to be planted?

If you have a stump left after a tree has been felled, you probably won't want it left sitting on the ground. An old tree stump can be a hazard, and will also be prone to rot and other problems that can spread to nearby plants and healthy trees. Stump grinding is an effective and efficient way to get rid of a tree stump, leaving a clear patch of ground in its place.
