Palmero – Palm Tree Trimmer
.
.
Just before the summer starts in the Desert Resorts, the palm trees need to be trimmed. If they are not trimmed then in September the streets below and swimming pools are covered with palm pits. Bad for the pool filter and pedestrians. The trees are still trimmed the old fashioned way: by hand. Palmeros, palm tree trimmers, will trim the trees with sickle and power saw.
Job requirements for a Palmero: No acrophobia, nerves of steel, also willing and able to work in 115 degree weather.
