Tree limbs may not exceed 5-feet in length or 5-inches in diameter. Palm trees must be less than 2-feet in length and diameter. This length and diameter makes it easier for everyone: residents can get the heavy pieces of trunk into their truck beds...and we can chip it without damaging our machinery.
