Cut them off at the base, dig into the core of what is left to make a hole and drown with vinegar, lots and lots of vinegar. Will take a bit of time, and since we are going into summer, it will go quicker than you think.
I don't know if this will help, but when we removed the palms from our yard, we tilled the area before adding Preen and mulch on top. We haven't had any sprouts since.
Make o mixture of white vinegar and water and add salt.Spray them continuously until you have gotten into the roots.
I would take advantage of this opportunity. Don't try to eliminate them. Use them to your own advantage. Dig up the bigger ones, pot them & set them aside. Once you've got enough for a yard sale, sell them somewhere. Maybe a local nursery will buy them from you to resell to the public or you can set up somewhere & sell them yourself. The ""mother"" tree will provide your seeds & you could use THAT area as your growing garden. Border it with rocks or stones & make a bed so it looks better but they seem to be doing good on their own as far as watering & nurturing. When opportunity knocks ............ :)
Unfortunately, there is no demand for this type of palm tree anymore. They're messy and attract rats when they get bigger. Plus, I'm not the only one who had these popping up all over. You're welcome to come get em if ya want! Lol!
What kind of palms are they? Why remove them?
Pretty sure its a California Fan Palm. I"ve allowed two to keep growing for now. but there could be as many as 50 growing at any one time in my side yard, mostly around where the old trees used to be. As many as 15 can sprout up in a few inches where the seeds had bunched.
If not trimmed a couple of times a year, they get very messy as old fronds droop. Once they get taller than 6' they get harder to trim and I will need to pay to have it done. I'm getting on in years and don't want the extra maintenance. Just the two I have will fill my 110 gallon trash can with trimmings..The stalks on the fronds have very sharp thorns that easily tear my skin if not careful. Need I go on?

Richard, did you find anything that helped you with the invasion of baby palms? Please help!
Round-Up concentrate not diluted poured on each plant add food coloring to chemical so you know ehere you are putting it. Or pull each one while they are only single stem.
I’m still waiting for the answer. Tried the vinegar full strength, they still grow. We’ve pulled, dug, cut and we are so sick of them. Ready to get rid of the culprit as well. Cut it all down and hoping to find the solution for ridding the saplings! Ive read all these, the farm gal has the best advice so far, going to try that first.
Great advise from some of you.
We had a yucca plant that was close to the foundation of our house and looked bad. We cut it down to the ground...later on it grew little leaves like your palm. We just kept cutting them off as close to the ground as we could. After about 3 summers, it quit growing those pesky little sprouts.
I can’t get rid of my fan palms either. They are connected somewhere underground to many others, and it’s impossible to pull them out. I have an entire berm of them out back but they are encroaching onto my flower beds.
I have a million palm trees growing in my grass. Ok maybe not a million. But I do have 500 of them. What do I do
Getting rid of palm saplings
I want those I want that to happen in my yard palmtrees are pretty
trust those of us who have them, you Don't want them.
If I pull them when still like just a single blade of grass, will they grow back? Only occasionally do the roots and berry come too. I like to think they'll be unable to keep trying if I'm persistent.
