Palm work in Pāpāmoa

Pāpāmoa’s sections are flat, which makes the carting easy. Where a palm stands close to the house or the fence, it comes down from the top in pieces rather than in one fall.

Queen palms dropping fruit on the deck, Canary Island date palms grown too big for the front yard, fan palms with a skirt down to the ground: out, or trimmed, with every frond carted away.

Living by the beach

Pāpāmoa Beach is Tauranga’s largest residential suburb, with State Highway 2 along its inland side and the Pāpāmoa Hills behind. The first beach subdivision went in around Papamoa Beach Road in 1952, on levelled dunes.

The berm trees belong to the council. In 2020 it turned down a Lavender Place petition to fell ten street trees and agreed to take out only the two tallest. A palm on the berm needs the council’s approval.

Weather off the coast arrives here first: in June 2020 a small tornado tore through a farm on the edge of Papamoa and lifted roofs. Dead fronds are what a gale pulls loose first, so a heavy skirt is best off before the next blow.
