Palm work on the peninsula
Where a section falls away to the water, a big palm is taken apart from the top and every piece let down on a rope.
Prefer to keep it? A trim takes the dead skirt, the seed heads and the fronds over the roof, and the green crown stays full.

Between the harbour and Rangataua Bay
Maungatapu sits on its own peninsula, with the harbour to the north, Rangataua Bay to the east and Welcome Bay to the south. The Maungatapu Bridge carries State Highway 29A across to Matapihi.
Its listed trees are pōhutukawa and a liquidambar, two of the pōhutukawa at Maungatapu School. No palm here is on the list.
With the highway running straight through, it helps to tell us where the trailer can pull in off the main road.
