The fate of old palm trees

So many palm tress are removed here, and I don’t know why. I wonder if it’s due to improper watering as I see them flooded every day in the DQ.

I hope they put them to good use. They don't look very secure.

That's interesting. Do the palms look dead or are they just removing them for some other reason? V
