Can you lean an extension ladder against a palm tree when pruning it?

It is not advisable to lean an extension ladder against a palm tree when pruning. Palm trees often have a smooth, curved trunk that lacks a stable surface for the ladder, increasing the risk of slipping or falling. Instead, consider using a ladder with a stabilizer or a pole saw to safely reach the fronds without compromising safety. Always prioritize safety and consider hiring a professional if you're unsure.
